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

States that the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) should not be allowed to maintain an official office in Washington, DC, if: (1) the PLO continues to circumvent a bilateral two-state solution by seeking recognition of a Palestinian state from other countries, the United Nations (U.N.), and its specialized agencies; and (2) Fatah or any PLO-affiliated branch forms a unified government with the Department of State-designated foreign terrorist organization Hamas.
