WASHINGTON, USA, 10/3
WS press conference
SOT Nicholas Burns, US State Department Spokesman "We see an indicator of what the Vatican did, in fact establish relations with Libya today and the Vatican does intend to have diplomatic representative in Tripoli. As we have said before many times the United States does not approve of anyone establishing diplomatic relations with Libya. We do not believe Libya is a Government that one can do business with co-operatively and I suppose if this is going to happen and it looks like it's going to happen we hope very much that with conversation the Vatican may have with Libyan Government officials they concentrate on Libya's support for terrorism, Libya's opposition to the peace process and the fact that we believe very strongly that there are two people in Libya who are suspects in the bombing of Pan Am 103, and the US has
placed a four million dollar offer to anyone worldwide who can help us find those two individuals and bring them to justice, so that's our agenda with Libya."
