Speaker. House Members were genuinely surprised by that limited time commitment. which did not track with the broad duties and responsibilities assigned to the envoy and the ambitious purposes of that law. Congress has also repeatedly noted our disappointment with the inadequate pace of the North Korean refugee admissions during the past 4 years. Even though title 3 of the act clarified North Korean eligibility for U.S. resettlement and required the Secretary of State to facilitate the submission of those refugee applications. fewer than 70 of the more than 150.000 refugees resettled here since then have been North Koreans. Many North Koreans have been deterred or have abandoned their claims for U.S. resettlement because of the extremely long wait caused by the resistance and the delay of foreign governments. as well as the slow pace of our own screening. One poignant case.
