"Sorry, I just read the written reports as presented by the UN to the world. THEY indicate that the inspectors could NOT account for various materials known to have been obtained by Saddam."

But they could account for the fact that the known materials were not for the purpose of
nuclear weapons. UNSCOM established that. Of course, many of the materials obtained by Saddam came from the US under Bush Sr.

Written reports by the UN may not have been an official document by the UN as a whole.
"Reports" indicate that they may have been delivered by individual nation members.
Perhaps John Bolton wrote one of these reports.
