SEC. 4. CONTINUATION OF DIPLOMATIC NONRECOGNITION 
OF NORTH KOREA. 
(a) FINDING.—Congress finds that the United States 
did not grant diplomatic recognition to North Korea upon 
its establishment as a client regime of the former Soviet 
Union in 1948. The United States has consistently contin-
ued to withhold such formal diplomatic recognition during 
the 61 years since the sudden and unprovoked attack by 
North Korean forces on the Republic of Korea on June 
25, 1950, an attack which led directly to the Korean War 
and the deaths of over 36,000 United States military per-
sonnel as well as at least 2,000,000 Koreans and over 
3,000 soldiers from Allied countries. 
(b) CONTINUATION OF DIPLOMATIC NONRECOGNI-
TION.—No funds may be expended for the establishment 
of a United States diplomatic presence in North Korea, 
including an Embassy, Consulate, or liaison office, until 
such time as the President certifies to Congress that the 
Government of North Korea has met all of the bench-
marks specified in section 3. 
SEC. 5. INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE TO A NORTH KOREAN 
MISSILE LAUNCH OR NUCLEAR TEST. 
In the case of the launch of a missile, rocket, or other 
airborne object by North Korea or the conducting of a nu-
clear test in violation of United Nations Security Council 
Resolutions 1695, 1718, and 1874, the President shall in-

olutions 1695, 1718, and 1874 and requiring the imple-
mentation of comprehensive sanctions and an inspection
