On August 4, Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry announced that the treaty committee`s vote would be postponed until later in the year, rather than August 9, as announced in July, to give treaty supporters time to gain additional Republican support. At the time of the announcement, Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana was the only Republican on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to openly support the treaty.
