Update: This vote has been moved to THURSDAY morning, unless Stevens loses his Senate race before then. Final results are anticipated this evening or tomorrow, but there is no way to know for sure.

Some who support the resolution believe we should address this after the results of his election are confirmed in Alaska. For this reason, I will ask the Conference to postpone the vote on Senator Stevens until Thursday."
