|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1975-01-14 | Abolish Internal Security Committee [HRES5] | Agreed To (247-172) |
 |
 |
 |
| O'Neill (D-MA) motion to order the previous question (and thus end further debate and the possibility of amendment) on the House rules proposed by the Democratic caucus at its meetings in early December 1974 and mid January 1975. The effect of the motion was to prevent the Republicans from trying to amend the rules. The new rules abolished the House Committee on Internal Security, eliminating its investigation of extremist groups or terrorist activities in the United States. A "no" vote on the O'Neill motion would allow for changes to the rules, the necessary action to re-establish an Internal Security Committee. | |||||
| 1975-03-12 | Emergency Employment Appropriations [HR4481] | Passed (313-113) |
|
|
|
| Passage of the bill to make "emergency" fiscal 1975 appropriations of $5,941,636,000 for several federal departments and agencies to stimulate the creation of jobs and to aid the depressed auto and construction industries. This measure increased government spending and bureaucracy. | |||||
| 1975-03-18 | Strip Mining [HR25] | Passed (332-86) |
|
|
|
| Passage of the bill to provide minimum federal standards for the regulation of strip mining and the reclamation of strip-mined lands. Regulations in the bill would cause a reduction in coal production, thus a higher cost for consumers and increased dependence on foreign oil. Reducing production would also cause a decrease in the number of jobs. | |||||
| 1975-03-26 | Tax Reduction Act [HR2166] | Agreed To (287-125) |
|
|
|
| Adoption of the conference report on the bill to provide $8.1 billion in rebates of 1974 income taxes, cut 1975 taxes $10 billion for individuals and $4.8 billion for business, repeal the oil depletion allowance for major oil companies and restrict tax credits for foreign oil taxes, and provide a $50 bonus payment to Social Security retirement, railroad retirement and supplemental security income (SSI) recipients. Adoption will drastically decrease federal revenue during a period of increased federal spending, thus causing heavy inflationary pressures. | |||||
| 1975-04-09 | Science Foundation Cirriculum [HR4723] | Rejected (196-215) |
|
|
|
| Conlan (R-AZ) amendment to require Congress to specifically approve funding for the promotion and marketing of any foundation curriculum programs. A "No" vote is against congressional oversight of controversial materials such as MACOS: ''Man: A Course of Studies" | |||||
| 1975-04-23 | Vietnam Evacuation [HR6096] | Passed (230-187) |
|
|
|
| Passage of the bill to authorize funds for humanitarian assistance and evacuation programs in Vietnam and to clarify the restrictions on the availability of funds for the use of U.S. Armed Forces in Indochina in an evacuation. | |||||
| 1975-05-13 | Agricultural Act Veto [HR4296] | Veto Sustained (245-182) |
|
|
|
| Passage, over the President's May 1 veto, of the bill to raise target prices and loan rates for 1975 crops of wheat, cotton, corn and other feed grains and to set dairy price supports at 90 percent of parity with quarterly adjustments. This bill would increase federal spending, cost the consumer an estimated $500 million in higher food bills and increased subsidies to cotton growers, and result in higher costs for consumers, taxpayers and most farmers. | |||||
| 1975-05-19 | B-1 Bomber [HR6674] | Rejected (164-227) |
|
No Vote | |
| Aspin (D-WI) amendment to delete a $1.89 billion authorization in the bill for initial procurement of the B-1 bomber. | |||||
| 1975-05-20 | Local Public Works [HR5247] | Passed (312-86) |
|
|
|
| Passage of the bill to authorize $5 billion in federal grants for local public works projects. This would further increase federal government control over local communities, will not significantly decrease unemployment and will be inflationary. | |||||
| 1975-05-20 | Defense Spending [HR6674] | Rejected (183-216) |
|
|
|
| Aspin (D-WI) amendment to reduce the Armed Services Committee-approved authorization for procurement and development of new weapons systems to $24.65 billion from $26.54 billion. The amendment would have made a drastic cut of $1.89 billion for procurement and development of vitally needed new weapons systems, thus weakening U.S. military strength while the Soviets continue a massive arms buildup. | |||||
| 1975-06-25 | Middle Income Housing Veto [HR4485] | Veto Sustained (268-157) |
|
|
|
| Passage, over the President's June 24 veto, of the bill to provide temporary subsidies for purchases of homes by middle-income families and to provide federal loans to unemployed homeowners unable to meet mortgage payments. The veto was sustained because 294 votes (two-thirds of those voting) were needed to override. | |||||
| 1975-07-18 | P.E. Intergration by Sex [HR5901] | Agreed To (215-178) |
|
|
|
| Flood (D-PA) motion that the House concur with the Senate's deletion of a House-passed amendment that would prohibit the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from requiring schools to integrate by sex their physical education classes and from requiring professional fraternities and sororities to integrate their membership by sex. The Flood motion would force integration by sex. | |||||
| 1975-07-29 | Jurisdiction Over Guns and Ammo [HR6844] | Rejected (80-339) |
|
No Vote | |
| McClory (R-IL) amendment to allow the commission to regulate defective firearms and ammunition and labeling on firearms and ammunition. This would have empowered the Consumer Product Safety Cmmission to prevent the manufacture and sale of certain firearms. | |||||
| 1975-07-30 | Congressional Pay Increase [HRES653] | Agreed To (214-213) |
|
No Vote | |
| Adoption of the resolution to provide for agreement to the Senate amendments to the bill to authorize work safety programs for postal workers and provide for automatic yearly cost-of-living pay increases for members of Congress and top officials of the executive, legislative and judicial branches. This would make Congressmen and Senators further immune to the harsh realities of inflation and recession suffered by taxpayers. | |||||
