South Korea will consider revising a policy that prohibits private radio 
broadcasters from transmitting to North Korea, President Lee Myung-bak 
told American legislators Thursday.


Rep. Ed Royce (R-California) said he raised the issue when he, House 
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other legislators met the president.

"He said the broadcasting was important and they were looking at a policy 
that would allow private broadcasting into North Korea from South Korea," 
Royce said in a teleconference with reporters.

The prohibitions were put in place in 2000 to disallow privately funded radio 
stations based in Seoul from transmitting to North Korea.

"Some of those stations actually operate today despite this ban," the 
congressman said. "But it's important that these stations have the right to 
broadcast."

President Lee, elected from a conservative base, arrived in Washington on 
Wednesday. He will hold summit talks with U.S.

President George W. Bush at Camp David on Saturday.

Lee and U.S. legislators debated at length the pending Korea-U.S. free trade 
agreement, said Royce, discussing beef and autos, the two most 
contentious stumbling blocks to congressional approval of the trade deal.

The South Korean leader emphasized global partnership, according to 
Royce.

"He talks about the issues of global proliferation, of global disease, of drug 
proliferation around the world, global terrorism, and how the U.S. and Korea 
need to cooperate on these issues as well," he said.
