I welcome North Korea’s long overdue decision to disclose aspects of its covert nuclear program; however, we must continue to reserve final judgment until we see this repressive regime follow through with its international commitments to completely dismantle its nuclear production capability and verifiably disarm.  Proliferation of nuclear weapons by rogue nations remains one of the gravest threats to global peace and security, so I hope that progress in dealing with North Korea will encourage change in other nations like Iran, which continues to ignore the international community in its development of nuclear material.
