On the recordNovember 20, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time for the purpose of closing. We must be just as committed today to supporting the human rights of North Koreans as we were in 2004, which is why I support this bipartisan reauthorization of the North Korean Human Rights Act through 2028. While much of U.S. policy toward North Korea is focused on its nuclear and missile programs, we cannot ignore the gross human rights abuses within the country. We can and must address both. I thank Representatives Kim and Bera for shining a light on the struggle of the North Korean people. I hope my colleagues will join me and support this important bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
