the security council. however, i have no choice but to focus my remarks on a single issue, north korea. north korea conducted a nuclear test on september 3. whether or not it was a hydrogen bomb test, its scale far exceeded that of previous tests. both before and after that on august 29 and september 15, before the ink on resolution 23 past to impose actions on north korea was even dry, north korea launched missiles. both of these were launched to fly over japan and make a display within cruising range. the gravity of this threat is unprecedented. it is indisputably a matter of urgency. north korea is attempting to dismiss the efforts we have assiduously undertaken over the years. the nonproliferation regime is about to suffer a serious blow from its disruptor. mr. president, distinguished colleagues, this recent crisis is altogether different qualitatively, and those we have alluded every time some dictator has attempted to acquire weapons of mass destruction. north korea's nuclear weapons either already are or are on the verge of becoming hydrogen bombs. their means of delivery will

that north korea poses. the threat posed by the ballistic missile and nuclear program is grave. six nuclear tests on september 3 is an unacceptable provocation that ignores repeated calls from the international community for a change in their behavior. it followed the august 28 ballistic missile launch that overflew missions in al qaeda, japan and launches in july. the provocations represent a tangible threat to the security of japan and south korea in allies and to the entire globe. we cannot allow such violations of international law to continue. north korea also made threats regarding the ability to hit guam and other parts of the united states. the secretary of defense has made clear we have the ability to defend ourselves and our allies from any attack, and there are commitments that remain ironclad. this administration has developed a strategy of applying international pressure to hold them to account. first, we continue to push for strong un sanctions. last night the security council passed another significant set of international sanctions on the second set of sanctions in t
