 |
|
|

| 1974-05-08 | Postcard Voter Registration [HRES929] | Failed (197-204) |
|
|
|
| Adoption of the rule to provide for House floor consideration of the bill to establish a nationwide postcard voter registration system for federal elections. This would create a costly new intervention into local registration patterns and is an open invitation to fraud. | |||||
| 1974-05-15 | Legal Services Corporation [HR7824] | Failed (183-190) |
|
|
|
| Ashbrook (R-OH) motion to recommit to conference committee with specific instructions in the bill to establish an independent corporation providing legal services for the poor. The instructions would have required House conferees to insist on House-passed provisions to eliminate the corporation's authority to make grants and contracts for outside research on legal questions affecting the poor. Acceptance of this motion would have killed the Legal Services Corporation for this session of Congress. | |||||
| 1974-05-21 | Fuel Rationing [HR13834] | Failed (191-207) |
|
|
|
| Staggers (D-WV) motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill to give the President authority to ration scarce fuels and to roll back and control the price of crude oil and oil products. | |||||

|
|
|
| Adoption of the rule providing for House floor consideration of the bill to provide for federal grants to the states to help them draft comprehensive land use plans under guidelines established in the act. This would impose additional federal regulations on communities across the country. | |||||
| 1974-06-27 | OSHA Funding [HR15580] | Rejected (97-295) |
|
|
|
| Camp (R-OK) amendment to delete the entire $100,816,000 appropriation for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This would have ended OSHA's bureaucratic intervention into business. | |||||
| 1974-07-25 | Strip Mining [HR11500] | Passed (291-81) |
|
|
|
| Passage of the bill to set federal guidelines for the regulation of surface mining for coal and for the reclamation of land that had been strip mined. This would establish strict standards, circumventing state and local authority. | |||||
| 1974-07-31 | Neighborhood Schools [HR69] | Agreed To (323-83) |
|
|
|
| Adoption of the conference report on the bill to extend and amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 and related education programs and to declare that students should not be bused beyond the school next closest to their homes, but allowing the courts to order more extensive busing to protect the civil rights of individuals as guaranteed under the Constitution. This bill failed to support the neighborhood school concept. | |||||
| 1974-08-08 | Campaign Reform [HR16090] | Passed (355-48) |
|
|
|
| Passage of the bill to provide for public financing of presidential election campaigns, impose campaign spending and contribution limits, and establish a board of supervisors to oversee and administer the law. | |||||

|
|
|
| Wyman (R-NH) substitute amendment to prohibit the Department of Transportation from requiring vehicles to be equipped with safety belt-ignition interlock systems, sequential warning devices or passive restraint systems such as air bags; allowing such devices to be at the purchaser's option. The original Moss (D-CA) amendment would have required cars to be equipped with either the interlock system or the sequential warning device. | |||||
| 1974-10-02 | Internal Security Committee [HRES988] | Agreed To (246-164) |
|
|
