  There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be

                                S. 3728

       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.

       (a) Reporting Requirements.--Section 2 of the Iran and 
     Syria Nonproliferation Act (Public Law 106-178; 50 U.S.C. 
     1701 note) is amended--

       (ii) by inserting after ``Syria'' the following: ``, or on 
     or after January 1, 2006, transferred to or acquired from 
     North Korea'' after ``Iran''; and
       (B) in paragraph (2), by inserting ``, North Korea,'' after 
     ``Iran''.

     ``Iran''; and
       (B) by inserting ``, North Korea,'' after ``Iran'' each 
     place it appears.

     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.
