PRESS BRIEFING BY ARI FLEISCHER

The James S. Brady Briefing Room

1:00 P.M. EDT

Q: Ari, on the North Korea missile test hold, anything today on that?
North Korea is extending its missile test ban --

MR. FLEISCHER: Well, and that would be a constructive step if that is,
indeed, the policy that is carried about by North Korea. The United
States would view that as constructive.

....

Q: What do you make of the fact that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's
son slipped into Japan on a false passport to go to Tokyo Disneyland?
(Laughter.)

MR. FLEISCHER: I think that's an issue that the Japanese are dealing
with.

Q: They've already dealt with it.
