Date: Fri, 16 May 1997 02:56:41 -0400 (EDT) From: Arlynn Afton <[g--l--t] at [triton.net]> To: Multiple recipients of list <[n--b--n] at [Mainstream.net]> Subject: Re: Lautenberg Amendment Here is the entire vote, inserting the Domestic Violence gun ban into the Postal budget of the Treasury Bill, which, when it came out of committee, had been rolled into the Omnibus Defense Budget plan on September 28, 1996, and was voted on the same day, without ANY United States Representative having read the bill. It was likewise passed in the Senate two days later on September 30, 1996, with several Senators and Representatives going on record protesting the way that the bill was handled, actually rolling many bills into one, and with no one reading the several hundred page bill before voting on it.

[Page: H12033] Mr. LIVINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order to consider the conference report to accompany the bill (H.R. 3610) making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes; that all points of order against the conference report and against its consideration be waived; that the conference report be considered as read, and upon adoption of the conference report, notwithstanding any rule of the House to the contrary, the bill, H.R. 4278, making omnibus consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes, be considered as passed. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Louisiana? There was no objection.
