Recorded Vote Demanded by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords on NASA Authorization

The U. S. House of Representatives has considered S3729 - the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Authorization Act of 2010. There was not a clear consent by voice vote for approval of the bill and consequently further action on the bill has been postponed with the likelihood that a requested roll call vote will be held. The recorded vote is expected prior to midnight.

The members speaking favorably to pass the bill included Bart Gordon (D-TN), Ralph Hall (R-TX), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Pete Olsen (R-TX), Kendrick Meek (D-FL), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Gene Green (D-TX), Steve Scalise (R-LA), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), John Culberson (R-TX), Suzanne Kosmas (D-FL), Adam Schiff (D-CA), Al Green (D-TX), Bill Posey (R-FL) - all in favor of passange of the Senate measure.

The only member leading the charge against the passage of the Senate-passed NASA Authorization bill was Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ.) citing a litney of reasons to oppose the measure and calling upon Blue Dog Democrats to kill the measure.
