A resolution waiving certain points of order against the conference report on S. 1159, to authorize appropriations for the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 and the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, and for other purposes.

This simple resolution 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 December 4, 1980: Measure failed of passage in House, roll call #664 (186-189).

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.

RICHARD BOLLING (D-MO) introduced it on December 2, 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.
