Russian President Boris Yeltsin and Estonian President Lennart Meri signed an agreement ending Russia's 50-year military presence in the Baltic republic. Russia will withdraw its 2,000 remaining troops by month's end in the compromise accord, which allows some 10,000 retired Soviet military officers living in Estonia to apply for residency there...

That would defeat Clinton's purpose, since it would mean the end of all inspections, no matter how imperfect. Washington would have to assume that Pyongyang was reprocessing the plutonium to build bombs. Pressure would increase to pile on the sanctions and begin reinforcing South Korea...
