As the Senate has most probably finished its work for the year, there will be no action on S. Res. 202 resolution until January 2004 at the earliest, and then it depends on whether the Senate Foreign Relations Committee decides to consider it. The resolution remains active through the end of 2004. Thus far, the status quo remains, which is that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is reluctant to consider it based on the Administration's concerns about the references to the Famine as genocide.
