List members interested in the issue of revision of the ROK-U.S. Status of
Forces Agreement (SOFA) may find a column published in the October 19, 1999,
issue of The Korea Times of interest.  That date's weekly "Hearts and Minds"
column of Rhee Tong-chin, an official of the Kim Dae-jung Peace Foundation,
was headlined "Behind the SOFA Amendment."  

The column (linked below) addresses obstacles which Rhee says Korea needs to
address if it wants the U.S. to be more receptive to a revision of the SOFA.
Rhee draws comparisons with Japan, in particular.

(If the above link does not survive the list circuit, you can readily find
the column on The Korea Times website -- http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/ --
with a search on "SOFA.")
