Framework.

SEC. 4. NORMALIZATION OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.

    None of the funds made available to carry out any program, project,

nuclear nonproliferation requirements of section 9.

SEC. 5. NORMALIZATION OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS.

    (a) Restriction on Termination of Economic Embargo.--The President

Framework, or if North Korea diverts heavy oil for purposes not 
specified in the Agreed Framework, then--
            (1) no additional heavy oil may be exported to North Korea 
        if such oil is subject to the jurisdiction of the United 
        States, or is exported by a person subject to the jurisdiction 
        of the United States;
            (2) the United States shall immediately cease any direct or

accordance with part IV (3) of the Agreed Framework under the timetable 
set forth therein, as determined by the Agency after--

        inclusion on the list maintained by the Secretary of State 
        under section 6(j)(1)(A) of the Export Administration Act of 
        1979 of countries the governments of which repeatedly provide 
        support for acts of international terrorism.
