U.S. welcomes pact | Ciass of Santas between two Koreag WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department welcomed on Friday the signing of a non-aggression agreement by the two Koreas but called on North Korea to take the additional step of allowing international inspection of its nuclear activities. “This agreementis an important step toward reducing tension and the risk of war associated with the 40-year division of the Korean peninsulz,” the departmentsaid. But it added that North Korean willingness to sign the agreement “does not in the least” absolve that country ofits responsibility under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to sign and implement an agreement that would permit outside experts to inspect its nuclear facilities. “North Korea must address the critical issue of nuclear proliferation if its efforts toward the improvement of North-South relations are to result in lasting benefits,” it said. Reflecting U.S. concern over the north’s nuclear program, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney announced how to be Santa Clausesat Berlin’s Technological University. dressed in Santa outfits during their last day of lessons on The students earned some extra money posing as Santas.
