The vote on S.RES.202 may not take place anytime soon due to
other pressing issues currently being discussed in the Senate. The resolution could potentially
remain on the floor through the end of the second session of the 108th Congress in 2004.
Indeed, there is no guarantee that a vote will take place at all.
At present, S.RES.202 is in the hands of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
