Reaffirming his warnings that unproductive diplomacy cannot go on indefinitely, Hill said: "We have to start achieving results soon. I don't want to put a deadline but clearly this can't go on forever." Under congressional pressure to reconsider its insistence on only holding bilateral talks with the North within the six-party format, Hill agreed the United States "cannot appear to be stubborn" and must be "results oriented." He promised if negotiations resume, "we will be very flexible" in the six-party process and he would be prepared to meet the North Koreans, as his predecessor had done. U.S. officials previously have had bilateral meetings with the North Koreans in the context of six-party negotiations but these sessions have been limited. --SP 2352 Local Time 2052 GMT
