Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 111th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Feb 12, 2009

Condemns the release from house arrest of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, who established and operated an illicit international nuclear proliferation network.

Declares that Dr. Khan should be required to give a full accounting of such network to the U.S. government, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and other responsible parties.

States that Pakistan's willingness to carry out its nonproliferation commitments should be a guiding element in determining U.S. policy and assistance toward that country.

Regards a failure by Pakistan to carry out such commitments as being incompatible with Pakistan's status as a major non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ally of the United States.
