North Korea found that ‘‘United Nations agencies 
and humanitarian organizations continue to experi-
ence unintended consequences on their humanitarian 
programmes that make it impossible to operate nor-
mally in the Democratic People’s Republic of 
Korea.’’. 
(12) Barriers to humanitarian access can result 
from decisions made or delayed by the Government 
of North Korea, by the governments of other coun-
tries, including the governments of the United 
States and the People’s Republic of China, and by 
the Committee of the United Nations Security Coun-
cil established by United Nations Security Council 
Resolution 1718 (2006) (in this Act referred to as 
the ‘‘1718 Sanctions Committee’’). 
(13) Nongovernmental organizations that pro-

Department of the Treasury, the Department of

Congress finds as follows:

behind the mountain and spared the city. 
(4) Congress, in acknowledgment of this event, 
believes this mountain holds special significance to 
the residents of Elk Ridge City and surrounding 
communities. 
(5) The presently unnamed peak has been re-
ferred to as ‘‘Miracle Mountain’’ by many residents 
since the fire that nearly went into Elk Ridge City.

(2) Elk Ridge City, located in Utah County, 
was nearly the victim of this fire. 
(3) Suddenly, the fire halted its progression 
and, instead of burning into Elk Ridge City, stayed 
behind the mountain and spared the city. 
(4) Congress, in acknowledgment of this event, 
believes this mountain holds special significance to 
the residents of Elk Ridge City and surrounding 
communities. 
(5) The presently unnamed peak has been re-
ferred to as ‘‘Miracle Mountain’’ by many residents 
since the fire that nearly went into Elk Ridge City.
