SEC. 1255. REPORT AND SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NORTH KOREA.(a) Report on Conduct of North Korea.—Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress a detailed report examining the conduct of the Government of North Korea since June 26, 2008, based on all available information, to determine whether North Korea meets the statutory criteria for listing as a state sponsor of terrorism. The report shall—(1) present any credible evidence of support by the Government of North Korea for acts of terrorism, terrorists, or terrorist organizations;(2) examine what steps the Government of North Korea has taken to fulfill its June 10, 2008, pledge to prevent weapons of mass destruction from falling into the hands of terrorists; and(3) if North Korea does not meet the statutory criteria for being listed as a state sponsor of terrorism, examine whether re-listing North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism would undermine the effectiveness of the state sponsor of terrorism designation in general and undermine United States efforts regarding existing state sponsors of terrorism.(b) Sense of Congress.—It is the sense of Congress that—(1) the United States should—(A) vigorously enforce United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718 (2006) and 1874 (2009) and other sanctions in place with respect to North Korea under United States law;(B) urge all member states of the United Nations to fully implement the sanctions imposed by United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718 and 1874; and(C) explore the imposition of additional unilateral and multilateral sanctions against North Korea in furtherance of United States national security;(2) the conduct of North Korea constitutes a threat to the northeast Asian region and to international peace and security; and(3) if the United States determines that the Government of North Korea has provided assistance to terrorists or engaged in state sponsored acts of terrorism, the Secretary of State should immediately list North Korea as a state sponsor of terrorism.123 STAT. 2552(c) State Sponsor of Terrorism Defined.—For purposes of this section, the term “state sponsor of terrorism” means a country that has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism for purposes of—(1) section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)) (as continued in effect pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.));(2) section 40 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2780); or(3) section 620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2371).
