Today we will look at the illicit activities that are underwriting North Korea's weapons programs.

If we can't do that, if we are hamstrung from a budgetary standpoint and we can't fulfill that mission, it is not the department not doing it; it is the Congress not fulfilling its mission.

We suspect that they have benefited from the nuclear tests.

The regime is endemically hostile to the United States and warrants watching.

Such support to other state sponsors of terrorism, because I believe North Korea belongs on that list, should be more than enough for the United States to redesignate North Korea on that list.

This is the only country in the world that manufactures and then trafficks in meth.

We did this once. In the fall of 2005, the Bush administration targeted the Macao-based Banco Delta Asia for its money laundering role.

It is important to realize that we have more options other than simply to rely on Beijing to do more.

I think the United States should pass a bill that allows for the expansion of designation of prohibitive activity.

The approach that we have taken has failed. And three nuclear tests later, I think we have to be realistic.

I hope that China will not do what it has done in the past and agree to sanctions and just erode those sanctions so the sanctions really never take hold.
