        INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION CONDEMNING THE NORTH KOREANS

  (Mr. KIM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KIM. Mr. Speaker, last Wednesday a North Korean submarine filled 
with armed commandos landed 60 miles into South Korean territory.
  Upon infiltrating South Korea, the 26 North Korean espionage agents 
scattered into South Korea and have already killed 4 South Korean 
soldiers. Today, I am introducing a resolution condemning the North 
Koreans for this outrageous behavior.
  Considering that we have 37,000 U.S. military personnel in South 
Korea helping to keep the peace, we cannot sit idly by as the Communist 
North continues to conduct these aggressive spy missions in the 
democratic South, our strong ally.
  And yet, under the Clinton administration American taxpayer-funded 
aid to North Korea has grown faster than to any other country in Asia. 
President Clinton has even threatened to veto the Republican foreign 
operations bill because he says we are not giving enough aid to North 
Korea. Not enough?
  Is this what Americans are subsidizing? Commando raids and military 
attacks on our own troops and our allies? I urge my colleagues to 
support my resolution.
