Richard Boucher, Spokesman
Washington, DC
U.S. Policy on the Status of Kirkuk
Efforts to remedy the unjust policies of the Saddam
government in and around Kirkuk, which included the
forced deportation of residents, confiscation of
property and the manipulation of administrative
boundaries, are internal issues for Iraqis to
decide.
The Transitional Administrative Law (TAL), which was
drafted and agreed to by Iraqis, lays out specific
steps to undo Saddam Hussein's terrible legacy.
The United States supports the full implementation
of the Transitional Administrative Law, including
Article 58 related to Kirkuk.
