Those closest to the talks did all they could to downplay the possibility of a rift. "I am not prepared to say that we have made substantial progress," said Ambassador Robert Gallucci, head of the U.S. delegation, but "the talks were serious and businesslike." Both sides strained to say nothing critical of the other's position. "It's one of those moments where we try not to say anything at all," said a U.S. official. Lower-level diplomats continued to meet over the weekend, and Gallucci will resume discussions Wednesday with North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kang...

The North Koreans asked for a suspension of talks, which the Americans understandingly gave. But what worried U.S. officials, including President Bill Clinton as he was awakened at 6:30 a.m. in Naples to hear the news, was who in North...
...Assistant Secretary of State Robert Gallucci, who has been handling negotiations with the North, lists even more specific demands. The U.S. will require Pyongyang's full adherence to the nonproliferation treaty's terms, including special inspections of suspect sites and a ban on all reprocessing of nuclear fuels. Then, if the talks turn to diplomatic recognition, the U.S. will want political changes, like improvements in North Korea's respect for human rights...
