A resolution to express the sense of the House with respect to equitable application of energy conservation plans and energy resources to the travel and tourism industry, and to insure the compatibility of travel and tourism with other national interests in energy development and conservation.

A simple resolution is the business of a single chamber. The House can adopt it on its own, and it is never sent to the other chamber or to the President.

The record's latest action, on April 10, 1979: Referred to House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.

1. A vote of the House

A simple resolution concerns one chamber only, such as its own rules or an expression of its opinion. The other chamber and the President play no part, and it does not carry the force of law.

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.

JIM SANTINI (D-NV) introduced it on April 10, 1979, and 4 members have since signed on as cosponsors.

They come from both major parties: 3 Democrats, 1 Republican.

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 April 10, 1979, 17367 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 17367 days ago, on April 10, 1979.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 96th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1981 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.

That deadline applies to this measure too, even though it was never headed for the President's desk.
