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.

(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced in the House on March 20, 2003. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
