                               RESOLUTION


 
 Condemning the proposed withdrawal of North Korea from the Treaty on 
   the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and for other purposes.

Whereas North Korea stated its intention on March 12, 1993, to withdraw from the 
        Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done on July 1, 
        1968;
Whereas North Korea remains obligated under the Treaty for a 90-day period;
Whereas no other country has ever formally withdrawn from the Treaty on the Non-
        Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons;
Whereas no other country has ever compelled the International Atomic Energy 
        Agency (IAEA) to request a special inspection of its nuclear facilities;
Whereas North Korea refuses to allow a special inspection of suspected nuclear 
        waste sites in violation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of 
        Nuclear Weapons;
Whereas representatives from 35 countries make up the IAEA Board of Governors 
        allowing the Agency to act in an impartial manner;
Whereas the United States withdrew all tactical nuclear weapons from the Korean 
        peninsula in 1991; and
Whereas annual Team Spirit U.S.-Republic of Korea exercises are conducted for 
        defensive purposes and are not a provocative act of war: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That (a) the Senate hereby condemns North Korea for its 
stated intention to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation 
of Nuclear Weapons.
    (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the United States and its 
international partners should take measured steps to compel North Korea 
to remain a party to the Treaty and to allow unconditional special 
inspections of apparent nuclear waste sites and other areas suspected 
of harboring a nuclear weapons-building program.
