Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence, in conjunction with the Secretary of State, shall brief the appropriate congressional committees on the use by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea of unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine, solid fuels, and other rocket fuels to power its ballistic missiles. The briefing under paragraph
(1)shall include the following: An assessment of each type of rocket fuel the Democratic People's Republic of Korea uses, or potentially may use, to power its ballistic missiles, including the chemical precursors, production process, and required production equipment for each such type of rocket fuel. With respect to each such type of rocket fuel, an assessment of the following: Whether the use of that type of rocket fuel by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is prohibited under United Nations Security Council resolutions, other multilateral sanctions imposed with respect to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or sanctions imposed by the United States with respect to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Whether the Democratic People's Republic of Korea imports that type of rocket fuel as a finished product or imports chemical precursors and manufactures the finished product. The countries from which the Democratic People's Republic of Korea imports that type of rocket fuel as a finished product or from which the Democratic People's Republic of Korea imports the chemical precursors and equipment to manufacture that type of rocket fuel. The size and locations of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's stockpiles, if any, of that type of rocket fuel. Whether that type of rocket fuel can be attributed to its original exporter based on unique chemical signatures or other relevant identifying information. The Secretary of State, in consultation with the heads of relevant agencies, shall develop a diplomatic strategy to end the transfer of all rocket fuels and chemical precursors for rocket fuels to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is the sense of Congress that the United States Ambassador to the United Nations should introduce a resolution to the United Nations Security Council to request that the Panel of Experts on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1874
(2009)investigate the importation and manufacture by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea of rocket and ballistic missile fuels, including unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine, solid fuels, and other fuels or their chemical precursors.
