1976-02-05 Natural Gas Deregulation [HR9464] Agreed To
(205-201)
Smith (D-IA) amendment to the Krueger (D-TX) substitute amendment, to deregulate natural gas sold by small producers with sales of less than 100 billion cubic feet a year, but continue Federal Power Commission regulation of major gas producers. The Smith amendment extended federal controls over major companies to cover gas sales in intrastate markets. The Krueger amendment would have removed regulation by the Federal Power Commission from all natural gas producers.

1976-03-03 Vietnam Trade Embargo [HR11963] Rejected
(185-223)
No Vote
Bauman (R-MD) amendment to delete language in the bill that would partially lift the U.S. trade embargo against North and South Vietnam if the Vietnamese provided an accounting of U.S. military personnel still missing in action. This would remove significant leverage from the U.S. in obtaining a full accounting of our MIA's.

1976-03-24 Legal Services Corporation [HR10799] Passed
(256-143)
No Vote
Passage of the bill to allow the Legal Services Corporation for the poor to make grants and contracts to outside research and training centers specializing in poverty law. The bill provides money to activist attorneys, most of whom are engaged in supporting left-wing causes, often political in nature.

1976-03-29 Internal Security Funding [HRE1079] Failed
(158-193)
No Vote
Ashbrook (R-OH) motion to recommit to the Committee on House Administration, with specific instructions that $300,000 be earmarked for internal security functions of the Judiciary Committee, the bill authorizing $1,276,767.32 for Judiciary Committee expenses. This was another attempt to activate dormant internal security functions which had been transferred from the now-defunct House Internal Security Committee to the Judiciary Committee.
