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 House of Representatives that: (1) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is to be commended for its role in preserving trans-atlantic peace; (2) the NATO allies at the April 2009 Summit meeting should articulate an Alliance vision for the 21st century; (3) NATO must act upon the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism by intensifying consultations among political and military leaders and deploying comprehensive counter-threat capabilities; and (4) the Alliance should pace the process of NATO enlargement while deepening cooperation within the Alliance to forge links with associate and observer nations.
