House Roll Call 96, 94th Congress · April 23, 1975

TO AMEND THE ECKHARDT AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE EDGAR AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE FOR H.R. 6096. THE ECKHARDT AMENDMENT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE CONGRESS DOES NOT BY THIS BILL GRANT, EXTEND OR DELEGATE ANY FURTHER WAR POWERS TO THE PRESIDENT; BUT IT ALSO STATES AS DID THE ORIGINAL COMMITTEE BILL, THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SEVERAL PUBLIC ACTS SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT FUNDING OF MILITARY OPERATIONS NECESSARY FOR EVACUATION. THE ECKHARDT SUBSTITUTE ALSO PROVIDES FOR THE IMMIGRATION OF "OTHER FOREIGN NATIONALS TO WHOSE LIVES A DIRECT AND IMMINENT THREAT EXISTS." THE STRATTON AMENDMENT TO THE ECKHARDT SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT PROVIDES $150 MILLION SPECIFICALLY FOR MILITARY AID TO SOUTH VIETNAM TO PROVIDE SUCH PROTECTION AS DEEMED NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE AND EVACUATION CONTEMPLATED BY THE BILL.
