well, in the old structure under kim jong il, and this is a very recent structure because he only passed away in december of last year, the power resided in him and he exercised his power through something called the national defense commission. but towards the end of his time, he instigated a lot of moves towards building up the workers party of korea, and the party to party relationship with the chinese communist party is the very important element of institution building and an effort to build up stability. right now there is an ongoing effort to shore up the power of the party, but whether that process is completed or not, that remains a broad question. this whole role of the military, that is a very troubling set of questions in and of themselves. all right. dr. park, thank you for giving us some more insight this afternoon. i appreciate it. john park out of harford s bellford center. coming up here, in gold we trust. our specialist examining the future of money in america.
