House Roll Call 631, 98th Congress · May 16, 1984

TO AMEND THE BENNETT AMENDMENT TO H.R. 5167 WITH AN AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE. H.R. 5167 AUTHORIZES $208.1 BILLION IN APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1985 FOR THE ARMED FORCES FOR PROCUREMENT, RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, WORKING CAPITAL FUNDS, PRESCRIBING PERSONNNEL STRENGTHS FOR SUCH FISCAL YEAR FOR THE ARMED FORCES AND FOR CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE. THE BENNETT AMENDMENT PROHIBITS THE USE OF AUTHORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIATION FOR THE MX MISSILE PROGRAM. THE MAVROULES AMENDMENT STRIKES THE AUTHORIZATION FOR MX MISSILE PROCUREMENT AND PROHIBITS THE USE OF ANY FISCAL 1985 FUNDS AUTHORIZED FOR PROCUREMENT FOR THE MX MISSILE PROGRAM, BUT STATES THAT IT IS THE INTENT OF CONGRESS THAT THE DENIAL OF FUNDS FOR PROCUREMENT UNDER THE MX MISSILE SYSTEM PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 1985 CONSTITUTES A MORATORIUM ON PROCUREMENT OF MISSILES UNDER SUCH PROGRAM BUT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A UNILATERAL TERMINATION OF THAT PROGRAM. (MOTION FAILED)
