I rise in strong support. also. of H.R. 5834. the North Korean Human Rights Reauthorization Act. which I introduced with my good friend from California. the chairman of our committee. Howard Berman. earlier this Congress. We passed this bill. Mr. Speaker. 4 months ago in a strong demonstration of this bodys continued commitment to human rights. to transparent humanitarian assistance. and to refugee protection for the people of North Korea. On Monday. the Senate followed our bipartisan lead and unanimously supported this bill with minor modifications. which is why we are taking it up again today. I would like to thank Chairman BIDEN and Ranking Member LUGAR and their staffs for their input and their assistance.
