Iraq has not made such announcements. Iraq has no capacity of any long-range missiles or any other biological or chemical weapons. All have been destroyed.

We want to make it clear to the U.N. Secretary-General ( Kofi Annan ) himself that those sites are well-defined.

I don't think it will be sufficient but it will be significant in alleviating some of the hardships of the Iraqi people.

These views are not linked to the clear and unconditional decision of the Iraqi Government to resume dealing with the U.N. Special Commission (UNSCOM) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

We told them we welcome the team to discuss the program and all the logistics for the visit. The visit can't take place without agreeing on the logistics.

We have not changed our stand. We are still requesting the American experts to depart the country before the deadline.

I don't think there's any doubt about that ... especially in the corridors of the Security Council.
