CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Calling on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and 
the United States to return to an interim level of compli-
ance with the Agreed Framework of 1994 while a more 
comprehensive and mutually acceptable agreement can 
be negotiated by those two nations.
Whereas in the Agreed Framework between the Democratic 
People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the 
United States, signed in Geneva on October 21, 1994, 
North Korea pledged to freeze its existing nuclear pro-
gram and allow the International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA) to carry out inspections designed to account for 
all its nuclear material and in return, North Korea would 
be provided with two light-water reactors and heavy fuel 
oil;

Whereas in the Agreed Framework, the United States 
pledged to organize, under its leadership, an international 
consortium to finance and supply North Korea with alter-
native sources of energy in the form of heavy fuel oil and 
a modern nuclear power plant; 
Whereas the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organi-
zation (KEDO), an international consortium, was created 
in 1995 to advance the implementation of the Agreed 
Framework; 
Whereas in October 2002, North Korea admitted that it had 
been operating a covert nuclear weapons program; 
Whereas in December 2002, the United States halted a ship-
ment of heavy fuel oil to North Korea; 
Whereas in December 2002, North Korea expelled IAEA in-
spectors, disabled surveillance cameras installed by the 
IAEA inspectors, and broke seals barring entry to a plu-
tonium reprocessing plant; and 
Whereas the IAEA, an independent organization of the 
United Nations, has initiated separate negotiations with 
North Korea to allow its inspectors to return to the coun-
try: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress—
(1) calls on the Democratic People’s Republic of 
Korea (North Korea), in an interim demonstration 
of good faith, to allow International Atomic Energy 
Agency inspectors to return to North Korea, re-
install surveillance cameras, and reseal the afore-
mentioned plutonium reprocessing plant while a
•HCON 18 IH 
more comprehensive and mutually acceptable agree-
ment can be negotiated with the United States; 
(2) calls on the United States, in an interim 
demonstration of good faith, to resume monthly fuel 
oil shipments to North Korea while a more com-
prehensive and mutually acceptable agreement can 
be negotiated with that nation; 
(3) commends the IAEA for its efforts and calls 
on that organization to continue its separate and 
independent negotiations with North Korea to allow 
its inspectors to return to the country; 
(4) calls on North Korea and the United States 
to immediately begin diplomatic talks and negotia-
tions until a mutually acceptable binding treaty to 
resolve the current crisis has been agreed to by both 
parties; and 
(5) calls on the members of the Korean Penin-
sula Energy Development Organization (KEDO), 
and the Russian Federation, the Republic of Korea, 
Australia, Canada, and other concerned nations to 
support this interim solution and all diplomatic at-
tempts by the United States and North Korea to 
achieve a peaceful resolution to the current crisis.
