Progress

Where this resolution reached, and when. A stage with no date was not reached; one that failed a vote and later carried shows the date it carried. A simple resolution is the business of one chamber alone: it is not sent to the other chamber or to the President, and does not become law.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the failure of the International Whaling Commission to renew aboriginal whaling quotas is inconsistent with the understandings on which the Commission is based and jeopardizes its continued existence as a meaningful international body; and (2) regardless of any Commission action, the U.S. Government should take steps to ensure the continuance of scientifically sound aboriginal subsistence whaling by the Inupiat people of Alaska.
