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
Calls upon the President to: (1) consult with the House of Representatives and the Senate to consider opportunities to promote further economic and commercial activity and cooperation between the United States and Japan; (2) invite Japan to begin discussions toward establishing the basis for closer trade ties with the United States; and (3) determine whether negotiation of a trade agreement with Japan would be likely to achieve the negotiating objectives established by the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015 and, if so, to commence such negotiations.
