  Interesting project! This from 2003, something Bush rejected. At the time, North Korean officials said they would halt the nuclear program if the United States agreed, in face-to-face negotiations, to resume its part of the 1994 deal, known as the Agreed Framework—which involved providing Pyongyang with two lightwater nuclear reactors (for energy production), food and economic assistance, and a non-aggression pact. In November, shortly before becoming consumed with Iraq, Bush rejected the proposal, calling it "blackmail" and saying it would be "appeasement" to "reward bad behavior." There the face-off stood, with experts noting that, if reprocessing commenced, North Korea could build two or three nuclear weapons by June and a half-dozen by the end of the year. Then the war with Iraq finished. The talks with North Korea got underway, with—at least so far—brusque results. But what was this "bold, new proposal" that North Korea brought to the table and that made Kelly feel a bit more sanguine about the future than his president? The Los Angeles Times cited the South Korean newspaper Joong Ang Ilbo as reporting that the North Koreans said they would give up their nuclear program if the United States provided economic assistance and signed a non-aggression pact. (Today's Wall Street Journal cites Bush "administration moderates" to the same effect.)
