Senate Roll Call 492

97th Congress · 1981-12-16

S. 1957: TO AMEND THE DOLE SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 5159, A BILL PROVIDING FOR A TAX INCREASE ON UNDERGROUND AND SURFACE COAL TO RESTORE THE BLACK LUNG DISABILITY TRUST FUND. THIS AMENDMENT IS A PERFECTING AMENDMENT RELATING TO TRAVEL EXPENSES WHILE AWAY FROM HOME. IT DIRECTS THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY TO PRESCRIBE AMOUNTS DEDUCTIBLE UNLESS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS SUBSTANTITATES HIS EXPENSES ALLOWABLE UNDER SECTION 162(A). THE DOLE SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT MAKES A FEW TECHNICAL AND CONFORMING CHANGES TO THE COMMITTEE BILL S. 1957, AND IT DELETES ONE FINANCE COMMITTEE AMENDMENT TO THE BILL THAT WOULD LIMIT FUTURE BORROWING BY THE BLACK LUNG TRUST FUND FROM THE GENERAL FUND OF THE TREASURY. (MOTION PASSED)
