on the Korean Peninsula and the United States-North Korea Agreed
Framework.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 25, 1995
Mr. MCINNIS (for himself, Mr. KIM, and Mr. SOLOMON) submitted the follow-
ing concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Inter-
national Relations
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to North-
South dialogue on the Korean Peninsula and the United
States-North Korea Agreed Framework.
Whereas the Agreed Framework between the United States
and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea of Octo-
ber 21, 1994, in section III, clause 2, states that ‘‘[t]he
DPRK will consistently take steps to implement the
North-South Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization
of the Korean Peninsula’’;
Whereas the Agreed Framework also states that ‘‘[t]he
DPRK will engage in North-South dialogue, as this
Agreed Framework will help create an atmosphere that
promotes such dialogue’’;
•HCON 19 IH
Whereas the two agreements entered into between North and
South 
Korea 
in 
1992, 
namely 
the 
North-South
Denuclearization Agreement and the Agreement on Rec-
onciliation, Nonaggression and Exchanges and Coopera-
tion, provide an existing and detailed framework for dia-
logue between North and South Korea;
Whereas the North Korean nuclear program is just one of
the lingering threats to peace on the Korean Peninsula;
and
Whereas the reduction of tensions between North and South
Korea directly serve United States interests, given the
substantial defense commitment of the United States to
South Korea and the presence on the Korean Peninsula
of United States troops: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring),
SECTION 1. STEPS TOWARD A NORTH-SOUTH DIALOGUE.

other concerned allies, and in keeping with the spirit
