It Makes a Difference to the Sheep

H CON RES. 18 (How's that for inside the beltway jargon), sponsored, as far as I can tell, by Alcee Hastings (D-Florida), calls for the following:

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress--

(1) calls on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), in an interim demonstration of good faith, to allow International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors to return to North Korea, reinstall surveillance cameras, and reseal the aforementioned plutonium
reprocessing plant while a more comprehensive and mutually acceptable agreement can be negotiated with the United States;

(2) calls on the United States, in an interim demonstration of good faith, to resume monthly fuel oil shipments to North Korea while a more comprehensive and mutually acceptable agreement can be negotiated with that nation;

(3) commends the IAEA for its efforts and calls on that organization to continue its separate and independent negotiations with North Korea to allow its inspectors to return to the country;

(4) calls on North Korea and the United States to immediately begin diplomatic talks and negotiations until a mutually acceptable binding treaty to resolve the current crisis has been agreed to by both parties; and

(5) calls on the members of the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO), and the Russian Federation, the Republic of Korea, Australia, Canada, and other concerned nations to support this interim solution and all diplomatic attempts by the United States and North Korea to achieve a peaceful resolution to the current crisis.

Don't hold your breath
