ocessing and enrichment by its nuclear
partners so as to prevent proliferation of the technology. The issue has
added sensitivity on the divided Korean Peninsula because of North Korea's
active pursuit of such weapons and international demands it desist.Victor
Cha at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank said
the U.S. and South Korea had been deadlocked after two years of
negotiations on a revised agreement and showing little inclination for compromise.
Failure to extend the current agreement would have had a major impact
on both the U.S. and South Korean nuclear industries, and would have
been a blow to the Washington-Seoul alliance, he said."Punting the negotiations
down the road for two years is advisable, benefits industry by creating

is closer to 750 million.He said the department, on average, buys roughly
100 million rounds per year.He also said claims that the department is
stockpiling ammo are "simply not true." Further, he countered claims that
the purchases are helping create broader ammunition shortages in the U.S.The
department has long said it needs the bullets for agents in training
and on duty, and buys in bulk to save money.While Democrats likened
concerns about the purchases to conspiracy theories, Republicans raised
concern about the sheer cost of the ammunition."This is not about conspiracy
theories, this is about good government," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said.Rep.
