Committee defeats Castro amendment, agrees substitute and reports HR 6230 to the House
Summary
An amendment (No. 81) to HR 6230 offered by Representative Castro was defeated 22–27; Representative Self’s substitute amendment was agreed to by the chair and the committee later reported HR 6230 as amended by recorded vote (47–2).
The House Foreign Affairs Committee considered Amendment No. 81 to HR 6230, offered by Representative Castro, and then an amendment in the nature of a substitute offered by Representative Self. During the amendment vote, Speaker 1 recommended a 'no' vote on Amendment No. 81.
Clerk (Speaker 3) reported the electronic tally on the amendment as 22 ayes and 27 noes; Speaker 1 announced 'the noes have it and the amendment is not agreed to.' Representative Self then offered an amendment in the nature of a substitute. The chair recorded the opinion that the ayes had it and the substitute was agreed to by voice. A subsequent recorded vote was requested on reporting HR 6230 as amended to the House; the clerk reported 47 ayes and 2 present (recorded) and Speaker 1 announced the motion to report the bill as amended carried. Staff were authorized to make technical and conforming changes.
The transcript does not include extended debate on the substance of Amendment 81 or the substitute text; the record shows the amendment failed on a narrow margin and the substitute ultimately moved the bill forward to the House.
What happens next: HR 6230, as amended by the substitute, has been reported favorably by the committee and will proceed to the House for scheduling and any further floor amendments or debate.
