House Roll Call 1255

95th Congress · 1978-08-01

H.R. 12514: TO AGREE TO AN AMENDMENT OFFERED IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE STRATTON AMENDMENT TO H.R. 12514. THE MODIFIED STRATTON AMENDMENT EXPRESSES THE SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT FURTHER WITHDRAWAL OF U.S. TROOPS FROM SOUTH KOREA "MAY SERIOUSLY RISK UPSETTING THE MILITARY BALANCE IN THAT REGION AND REQUIRES FULL ADVANCE CONSULTATION WITH THE CONGRESS." THE ORIGINAL STRATTON AMENDMENT WOULD HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED THE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE TRANSFER OF U.S. MILITARY EQUIPMENT TO SOUTH KOREA, A TRANSFER WITHOUT REIMBURSEMENT THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF NOT MORE THAN 6,000 U.S. TROOPS.
