(Reported to House from the Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs with amendment, H. Rept. 96-960) Amends the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to provide its personnel who are performing international affairs functions with allowances and benefits comparable to those provided civil servants for the travel expenses of their dependents to and from U.S. schools.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
This bill failed the vote the record describes below. A measure that fails is not revived; the same text has to be introduced again as a new measure.
The record's latest action, on June 4, 1980: Measure failed of passage in House under suspension of rules, roll call #286 (251-143).
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?
STEPHEN NEAL (D-NC) introduced it on April 15, 1980. No cosponsors are recorded.
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.
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.
