Pelosi: Nuclear North Korea ‘Should be a First Priority Concern of the World'

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released this statement today following news reports indicating North Korea has tested a nuclear weapon:

"Given North Korea's abysmal proliferation record, reports of a successful test of a nuclear weapon should be a first priority concern of the world.

"The recently passed defense authorization bill requires President Bush to appoint a high level coordinator for North Korean policy. That appointment should be made immediately. Other nations whose policies on North Korea have also so clearly failed, such as China, must urgently develop new approaches as well."
