For the purpose of closing. Mr. Speaker, for decades Korean Americans have been unable to see or speak with their family members in North Korea, and for too many, time is running out. This heartbreaking reality has taken a huge toll, and it is time to take action. This bill, introduced by my colleague, Representative Meng, would spur the State Department into finding opportunities to reunite them with their loved ones and to address this humanitarian issue that has caused so much heartache for countless Korean Americans. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
