U.S. Department of State Daily Press Briefing, March 28, 2008:
QUESTION: Do you have a response to the North Korean missile launches?
MR. MCCORMACK: Well, first of all, it is important to note that North Korea should refrain from any of these kinds of missile launches. It’s – their energies are probably best directed in other areas. But as far as our information goes, this was part of their normal or usual military exercises. And that said, they should refrain from these kinds of activities. We would hope that they would direct their energies towards fulfilling their obligations under the six-party talks, and as they are fulfilling their obligations under the six-party talks then we, as well as others involved in the six-party talks, are prepared to fulfill our obligations.
