Rules Committee Record Vote No. 9
Motion by Ms. Slaughter to amend the rule to H.R. 273 to make in order and provide the appropriate waivers for amendment #9, offered by Rep. Van Hollen (MD) and Rep. Slaughter (NY), which replaces the entire sequester for 2013—which would cause deep cuts to domestic priorities and defense—with savings from specific policies that reflect a balanced approach to deficit reduction. Protects our most vulnerable citizens, asks those earning over $1 million per year to contribute more, eliminates agriculture direct payments, and cuts subsidies for large oil companies. Defeated: 3–8
