HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - U.S.officials have asked the commu­nist governments of both Chinaand Vietnam to urge NorthKoreato halt its nuclear weapons pro­gram.amember of the V.S. Sen­ate Foreign RelationsCommitteesaid Saturday.

Sen. Frank Murkowski calledthe North Koreans "very, veryunpredictable and consequentlyvery dangerous."

The Alaska Republican is fly­ing to Seoul Monday to conferwith,SouthKoreanPresidentKimYoung-samandForeignMinisterHan Sung-joe on CommunistNorth Korea's threat He returnstt> WC\Sbin~oil Wednesday., Murkpwski said he expressedthe Uhlted States' growing con­cern in talks with Vietnam's topleader, Communist PartySecre­tary General Do Muoi, and.theforeign minister, Nguyen ManhCam, during a three-day fact­finding tour of Vietnam.

"I suggested that Vietnamshouldconsiderwhateveritmightfeel appropriate to encourage theNorth Koreans to abide by theinternational agreements cover­ing proliferation," Murkowskitold a news conference.

"And we've communicated thatin our concern to the Chinese aswell, but I think it's anobligationthat we all have and should moveon it as rapidly as possible," hesaid. ,

In response, Murkowski saidthe Vietnameseleaders"indicatedthat all countries have an obliga­tion to expeditiously try and en­courage the North Koreans toabide by a responsible prolifera­tion policy."

"There wasnothingspecificbutthey agreed everybody had thatresponsibility," he said.

Vietnam has diplomatic rela­tions with both North and SouthKorea and both countries haveembassies in Hanoi. A man whoanswered the telephone at theNorth Korean Embassy said hewas a visitor and that there wereno officials available for com­ment.

NorthKoreanofficialsandV.S.diplomats met in New York ongettingwiderinternationalaccessto North Korean nuclear sites.

Both the New YorkTimes andthe WashingtonPostreponed thatthe North Koreanshad promisedto allow international inspectorswider access to nuclear sites.

The CIA believesNorth Koreamay alreadyhaveenoughnuclearmaterial for one or two weapons,but the North Koreans deny this.

You are a sta­ble,low-key individual.

You know how to balance pro­fessional ambitions and dutieswith personal desires and respon­sibilities; you never let your careerovertake your home life - or viceversa. You always seem to know,day by day. just what your priori­ties are - and, also, just whereyou stand in relation to them.
