Cory,
According to a story in the Huffington Post, the treaty can be brought
up for another vote in the next Congress, so this isn't over.

Dear Dan and all,
I do not know the answer to the question posed below; however, will pose
it
to folks who would probably know.
Also, for those who are "friends" with me on facebook (if you aren't, you
can look me up by typing my e-mail address: cory.j.mcmahon at gmail.com into
the facebook search box), I just posted a link to a video of the rally
that
I attended today at Senator Blunt's office. In addition to attending, I
was
fortunate enough to be asked to be among a select group of individuals who
spoke with Senator Blunt's Representative.
Sincerely,
Cory McMahon
P.S. You're welcome, Dan!
