                                 A BILL


 
          To promote nuclear nonproliferation in North Korea.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``North Korea Nonproliferation Act of 
2006''.

SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    (a) In view of --
            (1) North Korea's manifest determination to produce 
        missiles, nuclear weapons, and other weapons of mass 
        destruction and to proliferate missiles, in violation of 
        international norms and expectations; and
            (2) United Nations Security Council Resolution 1695, 
        adopted on July 15, 2006, which requires all Member States, in 
        accordance with their national legal authorities and consistent 
        with international law, to exercise vigilance and prevent--
                    (A) missile and missile-related items, materials, 
                goods, and technology from being transferred to North 
                Korea's missile or weapons of mass destruction 
                programs; and
                    (B) the procurement of missiles or missile-related 
                items, materials, goods, and technology from North 
                Korea, and the transfer of any financial resources in 
                relation to North Korea's missile or weapons of mass 
                destruction programs,
        it should be the policy of the United States to impose 
        sanctions on persons who transfer such weapons, and goods and 
        technology related to such weapons, to and from North Korea in 
        the same manner as persons who transfer such items to and from 
        Iran and Syria currently are sanctioned under United States 
        law.

SEC. 3. AMENDMENTS TO IRAN AND SYRIA NONPROLIFERATION ACT.

                        transferred to or acquired from North Korea'' 
                        after ``Iran''; and
                    (B) in paragraph (2), by inserting ``, North 
                Korea,'' after ``Iran''.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--Such Act is further amended--

SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.

    Congress urges all governments to comply promptly with United 
Nations Security Council Resolution 1695 and to impose measures on 
persons involved in such proliferation that are similar to those 
imposed by the United States Government pursuant to the Iran, North 
Korea, and Syria Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 
1701 note), as amended by this Act.
