we have to put the pressure on the north korean government with stricter sanctions so we can engage in diplomatic dialogue and make positive steps towards denuclearization. we should encourage north korea to enforce the 2005-6 party talk agreements. north korea should be sincere with its commitment to the joint statement and allow i a eat inspectors to renew their activity in the country. i am also concerned with north korea's deplorable human-rights record. north koreans do not have freedom of speech, movement or religion and are subject to chronic starvation and a dismal public health system. the u.s. based on our values as americans should remain a strong supporter and leader within the global community and promoting human rights. look forward to reviewing our actions, positions and policies towards north korea as we work on denuclearization and our human rights record. mr. chairman, with that i would like to yield back and thank you for calling this hearing. >> the gentleman from california is recognized for an opening statement. >> thank you, welcome home. mr. chairman, thank you

and our current policy has done nothing to help the north korean people. i remain disappointed that so little has been done to hold the kim regime responsible for its horrific human rights abuses detailed in the u.n. commission of inquiry report. north korea is a grave threat to the united states and also to our allies in asia. we cannot continue to wait for north korea to decide it wants to negotiate. a non-nuclear north korea is an illusive goal if the administration maintains its current strategic trajectory. the kim regime is responsible for the horrific deaths of people not only within north korea but around the world. it is time to put our resources together and act. rewarding north korea for reversible steps on the pretense that it will commit to denuclearization has failed before, so let's not buy the same horse twice. i look forward to hearing from our witnesses here this afternoon and i will now yield to the ranking member, acting ranking member today, for five minutes. >> thank you, chairman. thank you for calling this important hearing. also wan
