What the document says

“The next Administration should also move to withdraw from treaties that have been under Senate consideration for 20 years or more”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 175

The chapter reasons that such treaties are unlikely to be ratified. It adds that where ratification of an old treaty still serves the national interest, the letter of transmittal should be updated for current circumstances rather than withdrawn.

What the document actually says

“The next Administration should also move to withdraw from treaties that have been under Senate consideration for 20 years or more”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 175
That sentence, in plain words

Some treaties have sat in the Senate for 20 years. The next team should pull out of those.

What this is about

A treaty can wait years for a Senate vote. Some have waited over twenty. The book says those will never pass. It says to withdraw from them.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
