| How Your Senators Voted On Key Issues
VOTE #1- TRADE / STEEL - (HR 975)
As a result of a depressed world steel market, foreign steel
producers began illegally dumping steel in the U.S.. In 1998, imports
jumped 33 percent and some 10,000 steelworkers lost their jobs. The
House overwhelmingly passed a bipartisan bill that called for the
reduction in steel imports, established tougher import monitoring and
imposed limits that returned foreign steel imports to 1997 levels. But
Senate opponents filibustered against even considering the bill and
the bill's backers, by a 42-57 vote June 22, 1999, could not overcome
the filibuster. Y=R, N=W (DEM 27?18, REP 15?39)
VOTE #2 - PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS-(S 1344)
In a major grassroots campaign, working families called for a
strong Patients' Bill of Rights. The real Patients' Bill of Rights
ensures the right to have treatment decisions made by doctors and not
insurance company bureaucrats, to see specialists when needed, to get
emergency room care when and where needed, to appeal health care
decisions and to hold managed care companies accountable when they
wrongly deny patients care. But the Senate passed a managed care bill
that excluded more than 100 million Americans, gave health plans the
final say on medical treatment decisions and lacked important
comprehensive patient protections such as patient advocacy language,
access to specialist and clinical trials, continuity of care and an
adequate provider network. It passed 53-47, July 15, 1999. Y=W, N=R
(DEM 0-45, REP 53?2)
VOTE #3 - NLRB FUNDING-(S 1650)
Big business and its congressional cronies have sought to gut
important worker initiative programs such the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, the Fair Labor Standards Act and the National
Labor Relations Board. In 1999, corporate allies went after the NLRB
with an amendment that would have slashed funding by $25.5 million.
The Senate passed a motion to table, or kill, the measure 50-49, Sept.
30, 1999. Y=R, N=W (DEM 45-01, REP 5?48)
VOTE #4 - DAVIS-BACON- PREVAILING WAGE-(S 1650)
The Davis-Bacon Act ensures that workers on federal construction
projects receive the local prevailing wage. This prevents contractors
from slashing wages in order to win federal contracts with low-ball
bids. During consideration of the Fiscal Year 2000 Labor/Health and
Human Services/Education appropriations bill, Sen. Bob Smith (R-NH)
offered an amendment to prohibit applying Davis-Bacon in declared
federal disaster areas. A motion to table the amendment passed 59-40,
Oct. 7, 1999. Y=R, N=W (DEM 44-0, REP 15-49)
VOTE #5 - MINIMUM WAGE-(S 625)
The national economy is stronger than it's been in a generation and
unemployment is at a three?decade low, but today's minimum wage is too
meager to keep even a small family out of poverty. Working families
supported an amendment by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) that would have
increased the minimum wage by $1 an hour over two years, to $5.65 an
hour beginning Jan. 1, 2000, and $6.15 an hour beginning Jan. 1, 2001.
Senate Republican leaders were able to defeat that amendment to
bankruptcy legislation and instead approved an amendment to raise the
minimum wage by $1 an hour over three years. But the amendment also
included excessive tax breaks for the wealthy-worth more than $75.3
billion over 10 years. The amendment passed on a vote of 54-44, Nov.
9, 1999. Y=W, N=R (DEM 1-43, REP 53?1)
VOTE #6 - MOUNTAIN TOP MINING-(H J Res. 82)
Senator Byrd (D-WV) introduced an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2000
Continuing Appropriations bill to impose a two-year moratorium on an
October 20, 1999 federal court ruling challenging the legality of
certain coal mining practices in West Virginia relative to the Clean
Water Act. Thousands of union members and supporters lobbied the White
House and Congress in support of the West Virginia delegation's
efforts to protect good paying jobs in the mining, transportation,
utility and other related industries. The Senate approved Senator
Byrd's amendment. Unfortunately, because of the threat of a
Presidential veto, the House Leadership failed to acquiesce. The
amendment passed 56-33, November 18, 1999. Y=R, N=W (DEM 17-25, REP
39-8)
VOTE # 7 - HEALTH CARE / PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS-(S 2549)
The Senate passed a motion to table (kill) an amendment to the
Defense Authorization Bill, that was the same language as the
House-passed managed care reform bill (HR 2990). Starting in 1998,
working families called for a strong Patients' Bill of Rights to
ensure their rights to have treatment decisions made by doctors and
not insurance company bureaucrats, to see specialists when needed, to
get emergency room care when and where needed, to appeal health care
decisions and to hold managed care companies accountable when they
wrongly deny patients care. The Senate amendment provided those rights
and also required health plans to provide customers with options such
as ob-gyn care for women and pediatricians as primary care providers
for children like the House bill H.R. 2990. The amendment was killed
51-48 on June 8, 2000. Y=W N=R (REP 51-4, DEM 0-44)
VOTE # 8 - TRANSPORTATION APPROPRIATIONS-(HR 4475)
This legislation appropriates $55.2 billion for transportation
programs for fiscal year 2001, including $30.7 billion for highway
programs, $12.6 billion for the Federal Aviation Administration, and
$521 million for Amtrak. Funding for the "Amtrak Reform
Council" was reduced to $495,000 for FY01. This amount represents
a significant cut from the Administration's request ($950,000), the
ARC's request ($1.2 million) and even last year's appropriation
($750,000). The bill passed 99-0, June 15, 2000, and is currently in a
House/Senate conference. Y=R, N=W (DEM 44-0, REP 55-0)
VOTE #9 - WORKER SAFETY / ERGONOMICS - (HR 4577)
The Senate passed an amendment to the LHHS Appropriations bill that
would prohibit the use of funds in the bill to be used by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration to promulgate, issue,
implement, administer or enforce any proposed, temporary or final
ergonomic standard. The amendment passed 57-41 on June 22, 2000. Y=W,
N=R (REP 54-1, DEM 3-40)
VOTE #10 - PRESCRIPTION DRUGS - HR 4577
The Senate rejected an amendment to the LHHS Appropriations bill that
would authorize a universal, voluntary, and affordable prescription
drug benefit in the Medicare program for seniors and the disabled. The
amendment failed 44-53 on June 22, 2000. Y=R, N=W (REP 2-52, DEM 42-1)

How Your U.S. Representatives Voted on Key Issues
=
VOTE #1 - TRADE / STEEL - (HR 975)
In 1998, as result of a slumping global steel market, foreign steel
producers began illegally dumping steel in the United States. Imports
jumped 33 percent and some 10,000 steelworkers lost their jobs. HR 975
called for a reduction in volume of steel imports, set tougher import
monitoring rules and set an import limit at 1997 levels. The bill
passed 289-141, March 17, 1999. Y=R, N=W (DEM 197?13, REP 91?128)
=
VOTE #2 - SOCIAL SECURITY / MEDICARE-(H.C.R. 68)
Given the chance to strengthen Social Security and Medicare or to
finance an $800 billion tax cut aimed predominately at the wealthy,
the House voted, mostly along party lines, for a Fiscal Year 2000
budget resolution that set tax cut legislation in motion but did not
extend the life of Social Security or Medicare by a single day. The
bill passed 221-208 on March 25, 1999. Budget resolutions are budget
"blueprints" and are not signed into law. Y=W, N=R (DEM
4?205, REP 217?2)
=
VOTE #3 - TAX CUTS-(HR 2488)
The nation's growing budget surplus provided a great opportunity
for Congress to pass legislation to strengthen Social Security and
Medicare, add prescription drug coverage to Medicare and still provide
working families with targeted tax relief. Instead, HR 2488 called for
a $792 billion, 10?year tax?cut package with most of its benefits
intended for the wealthy-such as a capital gains tax cut and estate
tax repeal. Estimates showed the cost of the bill could balloon to $3
trillion for the 10 years following 2010, just as baby boomers'
retirement is straining Medicare and Social Security. The bill passed
223-208, July 22, 1999. It was later vetoed by President Clinton. Y=W,
N=R (DEM 6?203, REP 217?4)
=
VOTE #4 - CHINA / NTR-(H.J. RES. 57)
The Chinese government has a long history of abuse of workers and
human rights and the production of export goods made by forced labor.
H.J. Res. 57 would have denied the extension of normal trade relations
with China, which many opposed because of the Chinese government's
horrendous record of human and workers' rights' violations, the
ballooning trade imbalance and China's continued use of slave labor.
However, the resolution failed 170-260, July 27, 1999. Y=R, N=W (DEM
98?110, REP 71?150)
=
VOTE #5 - WORKER HEALTH / ERGONOMICS -(HR 987)
Every year, more than 600,000 workers suffer injuries and illnesses
caused by ergonomic hazards in the workplace. The National Academy of
Sciences, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health,
most occupational safety and health organizations and professionals
say scientific evidence backs the need for workplace ergonomic
standards. HR 987 would prohibit OSHA from issuing an ergonomics
standard until yet another scientific review is completed, about two
years. The legislation had strong backing from the Chamber of Commerce
and other business groups. The bill passed 217-209, Aug. 3, 1999. Y=W,
N=R (DEM 15?191, REP 202?17)
=
VOTE #6 - HEALTH CARE / PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS -(HR 2723)
Starting in 1998, working families called for a strong Patients'
Bill of Rights to ensure their rights to have treatment decisions made
by doctors and not insurance company bureaucrats, to see specialists
when needed, to get emergency room care when and where needed, to
appeal health care decisions and to hold managed care companies
accountable when they wrongly deny patients care. HR 2723 provided
those rights and also required health plans to provide customers with
options such as ob-gyn care for women and pediatricians as primary
care providers for children. The bill passed 275-151, Oct.7, 1999.

VOTE #7 - MINIMUM WAGE/ $1 OVER 2 YEARS - (HR 3846)
The underlying bill was originally the wage portion of HR 3081 and
provided for a $1 increase in the minimum wage over 3 years. It was
severed from the original bill and renumbered HR 3846 for vote
purposes. The House adopted a Democratic amendment to the bill
substituting a $1 increase in the minimum wage over 2 years. The
amendment passed by a vote or 246-179 on March 9, 2000. Y=R N=W (REP

programs for fiscal year 2001, including $30.7 billion for highway
programs, $12.6 billion for the Federal Aviation Administration, and
$521 million for Amtrak. Funding for the "Amtrak Reform

a significant cut from the Administration's request ($950,000), the
ARC's request ($1.2 million) and even last year's appropriation
($750,000). Rail labor had an important victory with passage on a
voice vote (no opposition) of an amendment by Reps. Robert Andrews
(D-NJ) and Bob Ney (R-OH) to cut the budget for the ARC to $450,000.
The FY01 transportation appropriations bill passed 395-13, May 19,
2000, and is currently in a House/Senate conference. Y=R, N=W (DEM
187-6, REP 206-7)

VOTE #9 - TRADE / CHINA PNTR - (HR 4444)
The House passed a bill to give the Peoples Republic of China
permanent normal trade status. The bill solidifies China's entry into
the WTO and effectively eliminates the U.S. government's ability to
impose trade sanctions on China for human rights or worker rights
violations. The bill passed by a vote of 237-197 on May 24, 2000. Y=W

VOTE #10 - ERGONOMICS / WORKER PROTECTIONS / EDUCATION - (HR 4577)
The House passed HR 4577, the FY 2001 LHHS and Education
appropriations bill. The bill would slash assistance for 65,000
dislocated workers and 37,000 adults seeking employment and training
services. This bill also includes a rider which would prohibit the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration from moving forward with
its ergonomics standard to protect the safety and health of our
nation's workers. Finally, the bill would provide no funds for the
administration's proposals to help reduce class size and modernize and
repair public school buildings. The bill passed 217-214 on June 14,

VOTE #11 - HEALTH CARE / PRESCRIPTION DRUGS - (HR 4680)
The House passed a sham prescription drug plan that would not give
seniors a guaranteed drug benefit in Medicare, but would instead give
private insurers big subsidies to offer drug-only policies. The bill
passed 217-214 on June 28, 2000. Y=W N=R (REP 211-10, DEM 5-203, INDEP
