burma has firsthand experience of life in insein jail. he was jailed for years for political dissent, kept in solitary confinement for more than a year in a concrete cell that was about 8 feet by 12 feet. there is no toilet in the cell, just a bucket filled with urine and feces. he slept on a mat. he says he was tortured by prison guards, shackled in heavy chains with a heavy bar between his legs which made it difficult to work. every morning for about two weeks he was made to -- quote -- "exercise," forced to adopt awkward positions and if he failed he was brutally beaten. during this time he was not allowed to shower and was forced to sleep on bare concrete. it goes on and on. and so she's there in that prison. i hope and pray that the treatment that she is receiving is not anywhere along the lines of what this prison is well known for. mr. president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from minnesota. ms. klobuchar: mr. president, first i wanted to commend my colleague from arizona, senator mccain, for his great leade

services in singapore and the government of burma warned that the ship would be inspected on arrival to ensure that it confirmed the u.n. arms embargo. that has happened. significantly china has imposed sanctions on north korean companies and individuals involved in nuclear and ballistic missile proliferation much the sanctions recently imposed by the obama administration in concert with the international community are having a real impact. so i think we ought to give them time to work, mr. president. i don't think we ought to come in here and change the dynamics that, as i say, i know are currently being worked on by the secretary of state as we are here in the senate today those meetings are taking place. it's better for the united states and the international community to focus our efforts on concrete steps rather than resort to a toothless and symbolic gesture. this will have no impact, ultimately, because we're still going to go down our course, but it can ripple the process which the administration has chosen to pursue. i might also point out, mr. president, the president and s
