Expressing the sense of the Congres that a postage stamp should be issued to honor the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America.

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, 2000: Referred to the House Committee on Government Reform.

1. Adoption by the House
2. Adoption by the Senate

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.

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.

MICHAEL FORBES (D-NY) introduced it on September 13, 2000, and 19 members have since signed on as cosponsors.

They come from both major parties: 16 Democrats, 2 Republicans, 1 independent.

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.

It was introduced on September 13, 2000, 9493 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 9493 days ago, on September 13, 2000.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 106th Congress has not finished by January 3, 2001 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.
