About this vote

A motion to discharge takes a measure away from a committee that has not acted on it so the full Senate can consider it. S.J.Res. 138 is a joint resolution of disapproval that prohibits a proposed foreign military sale of certain defense articles and services to the Government of Israel. The motion failed, so the resolution stayed in committee.
