U.S. Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX), Chairman of the House Rules Committee, today issued the following statement after voting in favor of a measure that would strengthen and expand existing sanctions against North Korea in response to its recent nuclear weapons test and its continued efforts to build a nuclear arsenal:

"North Korea is a dangerous and rogue nation, and I stand with my colleagues in the House and Senate urging President Obama to swiftly sign into law this legislation which will cut off Kim Jong Un and his top officials from accessing the resources they need to continue these dangerous acts. The Obama administration's tactics against the Kim regime are not working, and we can't continue to jeopardize the safety of the United States and our allies. Instead of President Obama's so-called "strategic patience' plans, we must actually act and impose strong and strategic sanctions against this brutal dictator."
