Vote Data for SCONRES31 (95th Congress)


Date: October 12, 1977

Subject: Car Airbags

Description: Magnuson (D-WA) motion to table, and thus kill, the concurrent resolution to disapprove a Transportation Department order, scheduled to take effect Oct. 14, 1977, requiring the installation of air bags or other passive restraint systems in large cars by the 1982 model year, in medium-sized cars by model year 1983 and in all other cars by model year 1984. Airbags, which are not as effective as seatbelts, should be an optional feature since the cost of installation and replacement would be a burden to all new car buyers.
