Q In South Korea, the leadership there is very concerned and upset about the U.S. Agency
for Geographic Names changing the designation of a small group of islands to undesignated.
Has there been any thought to revisiting that? Have you all addressed that, given that the
President is going to be there in a few days?
MR. WILDER: We were contacted by the South Korean government at very high levels and
asked to re-look at this question. The President directed Secretary Rice to check into this
and see exactly what did happen with this change of designation. It was decided after that
review that the change in designation was not warranted at this time. And so that database
is now being restored to where it was prior to this change in designation, I think which occurred
about seven days ago on the database.
We regret that this change in designation was perceived by South Koreans as some sort of
change in our policy. Let me be very clear that our policy on this territorial dispute has been
firm and consistent since 1952, and that is, we do not take a position on this territorial dispute;
that we believe that South Korea and Japan need to work diplomatically to resolve this issue.
But it is their issue to resolve.
