CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 73

119th Congress · Session 1 · March 24, 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-1326 — DOE and USDA Interagency Research Act

This bill directs the Secretaries of Energy and Agriculture to engage in joint research and development activities. These agencies will coordinate through a memorandum of understanding or other interagency agreements. The bill establishes a competitive, merit-reviewed process for various entities to participate. Research areas include topics like machine learning, crop science, biofuels, and grid security. The act also allows for the development of data methods and the support of research infrastructure.
