A resolution providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 7) to make permanent certain of the authorizations of appropriations under the National School Act and the Child Nutrition Act of 1963.

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, 1984: Resolution Agreed to in House by Yea-Nay Vote: 275 - 125 (Record Vote No: 75).

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.

DAVID BONIOR (D-MI) introduced it on April 9, 1984. 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.

It was introduced on April 9, 1984, 15494 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 15493 days ago, on April 10, 1984.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 98th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1985 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.
