A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Congress that the Republic of South Africa should cease its "blackspot" policy of forcibly removing black South Africans from their legally acquired residences and relocating them, and for other purposes.

The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.

The record's latest action, on October 3, 1984: Indefinitely postponed by Senate by Unanimous Consent.

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.

JOHN GLENN (D-OH) introduced it on August 4, 1983, and 12 members have since signed on as cosponsors.

They come from both major parties: 6 Democrats, 6 Republicans.

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 August 4, 1983, 15791 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 15365 days ago, on October 3, 1984.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 98th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1985 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.
