About this vote

S.Res. 852 would ask the State Department for an unclassified statement on Israel's human rights practices under section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and lists elements the statement should include. A motion to discharge takes a measure away from the committee holding it so the full Senate can act on it; it was rejected, so the resolution stayed in committee.
