A bill to amend the act entitled "An act to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to execute a subordination agreement with respect to certain lands in Lee County, South Carolina".

4 steps remain before this bill could become law.

The record's latest action, on July 11, 1973: Referred to Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry.

1. Clearing the committees it was referred to, and being scheduled for a floor vote
2. Passage by the Senate
3. Passage by the House
4. The President's signature. If the President vetoes it, two-thirds of both chambers must vote to override.

Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.

In the 93rd Congress (1973-74), 651 of the 23,396 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 2.8 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.

This one is not there yet: 4 steps are still outstanding, listed above.

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.

JAMES THURMOND (R-SC) introduced it on July 11, 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.

It was introduced on July 11, 1973, 19466 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 19466 days ago, on July 11, 1973.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 93rd Congress has not finished by January 3, 1975 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
