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.J.Res. 53 would disapprove a proposed foreign military sale of certain defense articles and services to the government of Qatar. The motion was rejected, so the resolution stayed in committee.
