Rep. Royce's Statement on North Korea's Nuclear Test


Washington, Oct 10 -  

The Chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism and

Nonproliferation, Congressman Ed Royce (R CA) issued the following

statement in reaction to reports of a nuclear test by North Korea:

“It is not a surprise that North Korea had this technology -- only a

surprise that they had the nerve to conduct the test. At the very least,

this should clarify the regime’s intentions and force neighboring states to

face up to the situation. Policies like “sunshine” have failed.

It has baffled me that even as the North has showed nothing but interest in

arming itself and starving its people, that South Korea was able to keep its

blinders on for this long. It is time to truly ratchet up the pressure on

the regime of Kim Jong Il. This shows the perils of proliferation. We’re

seeing the fruits of A.Q. Khan, I’m afraid.”

Note - since 2000, Congressman Ed Royce has served as the Chair of the

U.S.-Republic of Korea Interparliamentary Exchange.
