1ST SESSION
H. J. RES. 83
Relating to the United States-North Korea Agreed Framework and the obliga-
tions of North Korea under that and previous agreements with respect
to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and dialogue with the
Republic of Korea.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 30, 1995
Mr. BEREUTER (for himself and Mr. KIM) introduced the following joint
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
JOINT RESOLUTION
Relating to the United States-North Korea Agreed Frame-
work and the obligations of North Korea under that
and 
previous 
agreements 
with 
respect 
to 
the
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and dialogue
with the Republic of Korea.
Whereas the United States-Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea Agreed Framework (‘‘Agreed Framework’’), en-
tered into on October 21, 1994, between the United
States and North Korea, requires North Korea to stop
and eventually dismantle its graphite-moderated nuclear
reactor program and related facilities, and comply fully
with its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Pro-
liferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange for alternative
energy sources, including interim supplies of bunker oil

for electric generators and more proliferation-resistant
light water reactor technology;
Whereas the Agreed Framework also commits North Korea
to ‘‘consistently take steps to implement the North-South
Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula’’ and ‘‘engage in North-South’’ dialogue with
the Republic of Korea;
Whereas the Agreed Framework does not indicate specific
criteria for full normalization of relations between the
United States and North Korea, and does not link the se-
quencing of actions in the Agreed Framework with any
time-frame for carrying out the provisions of the North-
South Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula and carrying out the dialogue between
North Korea and the Republic of Korea;
Whereas the commitment by North Korea to carry out the
letter and spirit of the Agreed Framework has been put
into doubt by actions of North Korea since October 21,
1994, including the suspected diversion of United States
supplied bunker oil in contravention of the agreed pur-
pose of the interim fuel deliveries, the refusal to accept
light water reactors from the Republic of Korea, the
harsh denunciations of the Government of the Republic
of Korea and other actions contrary to the commitment
by North Korea to engage in a dialogue with such Gov-
ernment, and the conduct of provocative, offensive ori-
ented military exercises that exceed levels for such activi-
ties prior to the Agreed Framework; and
Whereas the nuclear threat posed by North Korea is just one
of a number of security concerns of the United States
arising out of the policies of North Korea: Now, there-
fore, be it
•HJ 83 IH
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. CLARIFICATION OF NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERA-
TION 
OBLIGATIONS 
OF 
NORTH 
KOREA
UNDER THE AGREED FRAMEWORK.
It is the sense of the Congress that in discussions
or negotiations with the Government of North Korea pur-
suant to the implementation of the United States-Demo-
cratic People’s Republic of Korea Agreed Framework (in
this joint resolution referred to as the ‘‘Agreed Frame-
work’’), entered into on October 21, 1994, the President
should uphold the following minimum conditions relating
to nuclear nonproliferation:
(1) All spent fuel from the graphite-moderated
nuclear reactors and related facilities of North
Korea should be removed from the territory of North
Korea.
(2) The International Atomic Energy Agency
should have the freedom to conduct any and all in-
spections that it deems necessary to fully account for
the stocks of plutonium and other nuclear materials
in North Korea, including special inspections of sus-
pected nuclear waste sites, before any nuclear com-
ponents for a light water reactor or technical data
are delivered to North Korea.
•HJ 83 IH
(3) The dismantlement of all declared graphite-
based nuclear reactors and related facilities in North
Korea, including reprocessing units, should be com-
pleted in accordance with the Agreed Framework
and in a manner that effectively bars in perpetuity
any reactivation of such reactors and facilities.
(4) The United States should suspend its obli-
gations under the Agreed Framework if North
Korea attempts to reload its existing 5 megawatt
nuclear reactor or resumes construction of nuclear
facilities other than those permitted to be built
under the Agreed Framework.
SEC. 2. ROLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA UNDER THE
AGREED FRAMEWORK.
It is further the sense of the Congress that the Re-
public of Korea is the only acceptable source for the major
nuclear components for light water reactors to be provided
to North Korea under the Agreed Framework.
SEC. 3. FURTHER STEPS TO PROMOTE UNITED STATES SE-
CURITY AND POLITICAL INTERESTS WITH RE-
SPECT TO NORTH KOREA.
It is further the sense of the Congress that, after the
date of the enactment of this joint resolution, the Presi-
dent should not take further steps toward upgrading diplo-
matic relations with North Korea or relaxing trade and
•HJ 83 IH
investment barriers imposed against North Korea with-
out—
(1) action by the Government of North Korea
to engage in a North-South dialogue with the Gov-
ernment of the Republic of Korea;
(2) implementation of the North-South Joint
Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean
Peninsula; and
(3) progress toward the achievement of several
long-standing United States policy objectives regard-
ing North Korea and the Korean Peninsula, includ-
ing—
(A) reducing the number of military forces
of North Korea along the Demilitarized Zone
and relocating such military forces away from
the Demilitarized Zone;
(B) prohibiting any movement by North
Korea toward the deployment of an intermedi-
ate range ballistic missile system; and
(C) prohibiting the export by North Korea
of missiles and other weapons of mass destruc-
tion, including related technology and compo-
nents.

SEC. 4. RESTRICTIONS ON ASSISTANCE TO NORTH KOREA
AND THE KOREAN PENINSULA ENERGY DE-
VELOPMENT ORGANIZATION.
Funds authorized to be appropriated or appropriated
under any provision of law other than the Foreign Assist-
ance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2151 et seq.) may be used
to provide assistance to North Korea or the Korean Penin-
sula Energy Development Organization only if such assist-
ance is provided under the same terms and conditions that
would apply to assistance provided to North Korea or such
Organization under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961,
including—
(1) the requirement that the congressional com-
mittees specified in section 634A of such Act (22
U.S.C. 2394) be notified pursuant to that section in
the case of any reprogramming of funds; and
(2) the requirements contained in section 614
of such Act in the case of a waiver of any provision
of law specified in subsection (a) of such section that
would otherwise apply to such assistance.
