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 U.S. goals in the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) agriculture negotiations are to achieve significantly increased market access, harmonize allowed levels of trade-distorting domestic support for all countries, and achieve a more level playing field for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers; (2) the proposed modalities framework recently released by the Chairman of the WTO Agriculture Negotiations Committee fails to meet such goals; and (3) the United States should not agree to the proposed framework unless it is significantly improved and will result in meeting such goals.
