A bill to name the U.S. Courthouse and Federal Office Building at 110 Michigan Street, NW, Grand Rapids, Mich., the "Gerald R. Ford Federal Office Building";

1 step remains before this bill could become law.

The record's latest action, on January 4, 1975: Pocket vetoed by President.

1. A two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate to override the veto

Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.

In the 93rd Congress (1973-74), 651 of the 23,396 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 2.8 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.

This one is not there yet: 1 step is still outstanding, listed above.

No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.

A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.

KENNETH GRAY (D-IL) introduced it on December 11, 1973, and 24 members have since signed on as cosponsors.

They come from both major parties: 10 Democrats, 14 Republicans.

Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.

It was introduced on December 11, 1973, 19266 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 18877 days ago, on January 4, 1975.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 93rd Congress has not finished by January 3, 1975 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
