M2 PRESSWIRE-11 April 2000-US DOD: DoD News Briefing (C)1994-2000 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
RDATE:10042000
Presenter: Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen
(Media Availability with Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen at POW Committee Facility, Kuwait City, State Of Kuwait)
Secretary Cohen: I wanted to come by to visit the facility because of our commitment to be sure that Iraq fully complies with the Security Council resolutions. These photographs are poignant reminders of the pain that the families still feel and suffer from the loss of their loved ones and the dedication on the part of all concerned to have a full accounting of the POWs, something the United States feels very committed to. Just a short time ago I was in Vietnam and 25 years after the war in Vietnam, our number one priority in dealing with Vietnam is full accounting of our POWs and missing in action. So we understand the pain that families feel for their loved ones missing. And we are fully dedicated to making sure that Saddam fully complies with Security Council resolutions and makes sure that there is a return of POWs and a full accounting of all those missing in action. It is an outrage that he has not complied and we will continue to work with Kuwait, the tripartite commission and all concerned to make sure that Iraq does comply.
And that is the reason I wanted to come by, to express the U.S. determination in this regard.
Q: Have you made any progress on the C4I program with Kuwait?
