It is crucial that we get information to North Koreans so that they can better understand the corruption of Kim Jong Un's self-serving regime. North Korean elites live in relative luxury while millions barely survive. Our efforts are already putting pressure on the regime by creating and increasing defections from the country. To support our information efforts, the House of Representatives recently passed legislation authored by Chairman Emeritus Ros-Lehtinen to reauthorize the North Korean Human Rights Act. This important bill continues our broadcasts and it updates our efforts to include more modern technology to help spread outside information into North Korea. While we should take a diplomatic approach to North Korea, the reality is that the regime itself will never be at peace with its people, its neighbors, or us. But information is not our only tool. Congress also has done its part to ramp up economic pressure, passing the North Korea Sanctions bill last February, and in July, increasing the tools at the administration's disposal by passing a big sanctions package, which targets, among other things, North Korean slave labor. By using all the tools at our disposal, we can bring the necessary pressure to bear peacefully in order to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
