Common questions
Composed from the official record
Where is it in the process, and what happens next?

A concurrent resolution needs both chambers to adopt it, and is then done. It is not sent to the President and does not become law.

The record's latest action, on September 13, 1979: Referred to House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

  1. Adoption by the House
  2. Adoption by the Senate
What is a concurrent resolution, exactly?

A concurrent resolution is how the two chambers agree on something between themselves, such as a budget framework or the date they adjourn. Both chambers adopt it, the President plays no part, and it does not carry the force of law.

Has anyone actually voted on it?

No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.

A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.

Who is behind it?

DON CLAUSEN (R-CA) introduced it on September 13, 1979, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.

They are 1 Republican.

Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.

How long has it been in play?

It was introduced on September 13, 1979, 17164 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 17164 days ago, on September 13, 1979.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 96th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1981 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.

That deadline applies to this measure too, even though it was never headed for the President's desk.

Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
