Telephone Call to Prime Minister Hata of Japan

President Clinton spoke with Prime Minister Tsutomu Hata this morning for roughly 10 minutes from the Oval Office. They had a good conversation about bilateral U.S.-Japan relations, resolving the nuclear situation in North Korea and the Framework talks. They expressed the hope that a basis will be found for reengaging in the Framework talks before the G-7 Summit in July.
