Mr. GEPHARDT moved to recommit

the bill to the Committee on the Budget with instructions to report the bill

back to the House with modifications

to preserve and protect the health and

income security of our seniors and our

children and to achieve fairness by denying revenue reductions favoring the

rich and excluding revenue increases

on working class families and to retain

Section 5003 relating to Federal retirement provisions for Members of Congress and Congressional employees.

After debate,

By unanimous consent, the previous

question was ordered on the motion to

recommit with instructions.

The question being put,

Will the House recommit said bill

with instructions?

The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr.

DREIER, announced that the nays had

it.

Mr. GEPHARDT demanded that the

vote be taken by the yeas and nays,

which demand was supported by onefifth of the Members present, so the

yeas and nays were ordered.

The vote was taken by electronic device.

It was decided in the Yeas ....... 180 ! negative ....................... Nays ...... 250
