CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 64

119th Congress · Session 1 · March 10, 2025

A fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to pass

The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.

What was being voted on

119-HR-901 — Research Security and Accountability in DHS Act

This Act directs the Department of Homeland Security to protect its research and development. It requires the Under Secretary of the Science and Technology Directorate to create a Department-wide policy to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information during acquisitions. The bill also mandates a report from the GAO regarding compliance with National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 and guidance from the National Science and Technology Council.
