(LATEST SUMMARY) Extends the authorizations through fiscal year 1974 for the following programs under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 by specifying appropriations: (1) grants for public works and development facilities; (2) public works and development facility loans; (3) technical assistance, research and information related to public works and development facilities; (4) financial assistance for projects in economic development districts; and (5) supplemental funds for Federal grants-in-aid programs for economic development regions. Directs the President's InterAgency Economic Adjustment Committee to submit to the Congress within 30 days a report concerning each community affected by the defense facility and activity realignments announced on April 17, 1973. Requires that such plan: (1) contain details as to the facilities or portions thereof affected by the realignments which are excess to the Government's security needs and which can be turned over to the local jurisdiction for civilian use; (2) contain comprehensive analyses of the community economic impact of a realignment which reduces or terminates activities resulting in a decrease in military or civilian personnel employed as a facility; (3) describe procedures providing for the most expeditions transfer of such facilities to civilian use; (4) describe procedures providing for the most expeditious transfer of such facilities to civilian use; (4) describe technical assistance and program resources made available by Federal agencies to communities in planning and carrying out economic development plans to utilize facilities transferred to civilian control; and (5) contain an estimate of the Federal program resources and the anticipated cost to fully implement community economic development plans, and, where necessary, contain recommendations for increased appropriations to meet those anticipated costs. Directs the President to instruct the Secretary of Commerce and the Office of Management and Budget to reexamine current and past Federal efforts to secure balanced national economic development, and to submit to Congress within six months after the enactment of this Act a proposal for the restructuring of the various Federal economic development programs.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on June 18, 1973: Public law 93-46.
How likely is it to become law?
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 has no outstanding steps listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
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.
Who is behind it?
JOHN BLATNIK (D-MN) introduced it on January 18, 1973, and 23 members have since signed on as cosponsors.
They come from both major parties: 14 Democrats, 9 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.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on January 18, 1973, 19593 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 19442 days ago, on June 18, 1973.
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.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
