ducted a third underground nuclear test in violation

Six-Party Talks.

mously adopted Resolution 2094, condemning North

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that—
694 
(1) the United States and its allies, South 
Korea and Japan, share the goal of a stable and 
peaceful Korean Peninsula, free of nuclear weapons; 
(2) the United States remains committed to de-
fending its allies in the Asia-Pacific region and sta-
bility in Northeast Asia requires restraint by all par-
ties from activities that would complicate inter-
national relations or escalate international tensions, 
and international disputes should be mitigated in a 
constructive manner consistent with established 
principles of international law; 
(3) Congress supports— 
(A) the verifiable denuclearization of the 
Korean Peninsula in a peaceful manner, 
(B) North Korea’s abandonment of its nu-
clear programs and return to the Treaty on the 
Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons and to 
International Atomic Energy Agency safe-
guards; and 
(C) North Korea’s full acceptance of and 
compliance with the terms of the 1953 Armi-
stice Agreement; 
(4) the United States has national interests in 
security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, the 
implementation of the United States-Korea Free
695 
Trade Agreement, nuclear non-proliferation efforts, 
the promotion of respect for the fundamental human 
rights of the North Korean people, international 
cyber-security cooperation, and full implementation 
of United States and multilateral sanctions against 
illicit activities; 
(5) the United States encourages China and 
Russia to fully implement and enforce United States 
and United Nations Security Council sanctions 
against North Korea; and 
(6) the President, the Secretary of State, and 
the Secretary of Defense should keep Congress fully 
informed on security developments on the Korean 
Peninsula. 
SEC. 1244. STATEMENT OF CONGRESS ON DEFENSE CO-
OPERATION WITH GEORGIA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Republic of Georgia is a highly valued 
ally of the United States and has repeatedly dem-
onstrated its commitment to advancing the mutual 
interests of both countries, including the deployment 
of Georgian forces as part of the NATO-led Inter-
national Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan 
and the Multi-National Force in Iraq.
696 
(2) The peaceful transfer of power as the result 
of the free and fair parliamentary elections in Geor-
gia in October 2012 represents a major accomplish-
ment toward the Georgian people’s creation of a free 
society and full democracy. 
(3) However, since the October 2012 par-
liamentary elections the new Georgian Government 
has taken a series of measures against former offi-
cials and members of the current political opposition 
that appear to be motivated by political consider-
ations. 
(4) Over 100 former Georgian Government offi-
cials have been charged with criminal violations 
since the October 2012 parliamentary elections. 
(5) Similar charges have been filed against 
members of the political opposition, including Vano 
Merabishvili, the Secretary General of the United 
National Movement. 
(6) The arrest of the leader of an opposition 
party is especially troubling, particularly its chilling 
effect on political freedom prior to the presidential 
election scheduled for October 2013. 
(7) The Georgian Government has taken insuf-
ficient action to prevent further violence against
697 
members of the United National Movement and to 
punish offenders. 
(8) These actions call into question the Geor-
gian Government’s continued progress toward the 
creation of a free and democratic society in which 
basic freedoms, including freedom for political oppo-
sition, are guaranteed. 
(b) STATEMENT OF CONGRESS.—Congress declares 
that— 
(1) the United States remains committed to as-
sisting the people of Georgia in establishing a free 
and democratic society in their country; 
(2) the measures taken by the Georgian Gov-
ernment against former officials and political oppo-
nents, apparently in part motivated by political con-
siderations, may have a significant negative impact 
on cooperation between the United States and Geor-
gia, including efforts to build a stronger relationship 
in political, economic, and security matters, as well 
as progress on integrating Georgia into international 
organizations; 
(3) the United States must be unambiguous 
when democratic backsliding occurs in a key ally 
after a peaceful and democratic transfer of power 
between political parties; and
698 
(4) the people of the United States and the 
Members of Congress express their deepest condo-
lences to the Georgian people on the tragic loss of 
seven soldiers of Georgia in a suicide bombing on 
June 6, 2013, and the deaths of three soldiers killed 
in another suicide bombing on May 13, 2013, while 
they were supporting United States and NATO 
forces in Afghanistan.
