The US House of Representatives yesterday gave the government the green
light to spend $20 million a year for humanitarian aid to North Koreans
inside and outside the country, and moved to make North Korean refugees
eligible for asylum in the United States. The North Korean Human Rights Act,
approved by voice vote, also contains $4 million for expanding US radio
broadcasts and other measures designed to promote democracy and human rights
in North Korea.
