,reed7 submitted the following          
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on ,foreign ,relations       
,,resolution  ,reaffirming the          
importance of the ,general ,security of 
,military ,information ,agreement       
between the ,republic of ,korea and     
,japan1 and for other purposes4         
,whereas the ,general ,security of      
,military ,information ,agreement       
7,,gsomia7 between the ,republic of     
,korea and ,japan is crucial to         
safeguarding ,united ,states and allied 
interests in ,northeast ,asia and the   
broader ,indo-,pacific region2 ,whereas 
bilateral information sharing between   
the ,governments of the ,republic of    
,korea and ,japan is critical to        
increasing trust and growing cooperation
 that advances shared defense and       

security interests2 ,whereas the        
,governments and people of ,japan and   
the ,republic of ,korea have made       
significant contributions to advancing  
our shared defense partnership and      
promoting trilateral cooperation2       
,whereas defense cooperation among the  
,united ,states1 ,japan1 and the        
,republic of ,korea serves as a         
deterrent against aggression from       
adversaries and external security       
threats as well as against new and      
non-traditional challenges2 ,whereas the
 suspension of ,,gsomia directly harms  
,united ,states national security at a  
time when the ,government of the        
,democratic ,people's ,republic of      
,korea is engaging in an increased level
 of provocations1 including #ab tests of
 over #bj ballistic missiles this year1 
including new types of nuclear-capable  
land and sea-launched ballistic         
missiles2 ,whereas the ,governments of  
the ,people's ,republic of ,china1 the  
,democratic ,people's ,republic of      

,korea1 and the ,russian ,federation are
 seeking to capitalize on friction      
between the ,republic of ,korea and     
,japan1 and the resulting strain on     
trilateral cooperation and on our       
bilateral alliances2 ,whereas the       
,government and people of the ,united   
,states value the partnership of ,japan 
and the ,republic of ,korea in upholding
 regional security and prosperity1      
including by safeguarding maritime      
security and freedom of navigation1     
promoting investment and commerce1      
advocating for the rule of law1 and     
opposing the use of intimidation and    
force in the ,indo-,pacific2 and        
,whereas strengthening intelligence     
sharing is fundamental to the future of 
trilateral cooperation1 and to enabling 
the ,governments of the ,united ,states1
 ,japan1 and the ,republic of ,korea to 
face the challenges posed by the        
,government of the ,democratic ,people's
 ,republic of ,korea's destabilizing    
actions1 the ,people's ,republic of     

,china1 and other emerging security     
threats3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that  
the ,senate-- 7#a7 reaffirms the        
importance of the ,general ,security of 
,military ,information ,agreement       
7,,gsomia7 between the ,republic of     
,korea and ,japan as a crucial military 
intelligence-sharing agreement          
foundational to ,indo-,pacific security 
and defense1 and specifically to        
countering nuclear and missile threats  
from the ,democratic ,people's ,republic
 of ,korea2  7#b7 underscores the vital 
role of the alliances between the       
,united ,states and ,japan and the      
,united ,states and the ,republic of    
,korea in promoting peace1 stability1   
and security in the ,indo-,pacific      
region2  7#c7 highlights that friction  
between the ,republic of ,korea and     
,japan only fractures the region and    
empowers its agitators2  7#d7 urges the 
,republic of ,korea to consider how to  
best address potential measures that may
 undermine regional security            

cooperation2  7#e7 encourages the       
,governments of ,japan and the ,republic
 of ,korea to take steps to rebuild     
trust and address the sources of        
bilateral friction1 insulate important  
defense and security ties from other    
bilateral challenges1 and pursue        
cooperation on shared interests1 such as
 a denuclearized ,korean peninsula1     
market-based trade and commerce1 and a  
stable ,indo-,pacific region2 and  7#f7 
commits to strengthening and deepening  
diplomatic1 economic1 security1 and     
people-to-people ties between and among
