logical weapon of mass destruction; 
Whereas the international community condemned the 1998 
Taepodong 1 missile launch; 
Whereas the Government of North Korea imposed a morato-
rium on testing long-range missiles in 1999, which, in

economic sanctions against North Korea; 
Whereas shortly after the signing of the 1994 agreed frame-
work between the United States and North Korea, North 
Korea instituted a secret program to enrich uranium; 
Whereas, since North Korea’s 1993 successful test of its in-
termediate NoDong missile, North Korea has signifi-
cantly expanded sale and proliferation of such missile to 
countries like Iran and Syria; 
Whereas the North Korean military has engaged in numerous 
acts of aggression in the waters in and around South

against South Korean and Japanese naval vessels;

Whereas it is believed that North Korea has developed suffi-
cient weapons grade plutonium for at least six nuclear 
weapons; 
Whereas it is believed that the Government of North Korea 
moved a Taepodong 2 missile into a launch posture and 
fully loaded the missile with fuel in June 2006; 
Whereas the success of any tests of the Taepodong 2 missile 
will further advance the development of North Korea’s 
long-range ballistic missile program; 
Whereas a second stage Taepodong 2 missile is believed to 
be able to reach United States locations in Guam, Alas-
ka, and Hawaii with a sizeable payload; 
Whereas a third stage Taepodong 2 missile is believed to be 
able to reach most locations in North America with a 
sizeable payload; 
Whereas the Government of North Korea is willing to con-
duct its foreign policy in a game of brinkmanship in 
order to satisfy the political and military agenda of the 
North Korean military, boost morale, and improve its 
bargaining leverage in international negotiations; 
Whereas the Government of North Korea has twice boycotted 
the Six Party talks between North Korea, the United 
States, Japan, the People’s Republic of China, South 
Korea, and the Russian Federation which are aimed at 
the peaceful denuclearization of North Korea; and 
Whereas the Government of North Korea is urged to resolve 
its security concerns by returning to the Six Party talks 
and through other international norms of negotiation and 
diplomacy: Now, therefore, be it
