About this vote

A motion to discharge takes a measure away from the committee that has it so the full Senate can consider it. S.Res. 195 requests information on El Salvador's human rights practices under section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The motion was rejected, so the resolution stayed in committee.
