This week, Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) voted for and the House passed the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act (H.R. 757), which imposes additional sanctions on North Korea following its claim that it tested a hydrogen bomb last week.

"In the absence of strong American leadership in the world, tyrannical regimes like the one in North Korea feel empowered to act out," said Rep. Graves. "It must be held accountable. We cannot wait and wonder if the president will respond. Congress is taking the lead and sending a powerful message with this bill to impose additional sanctions."
