Where this sits in the process
Common questions
Composed from the official record
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 October 30, 1973: Motion to override veto failed of passage in Senate, roll call #474 (54-42).

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?

JAMES FULBRIGHT (D-AR) introduced it on March 22, 1973. 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.
