During the October 11 House floor debate on the H.R. 2405, the Omnibus Science Authorization Act, Rep. Tim Roemer (D-IN) offered an amendment to cut the staff at all the national laboratories by one-third, except for those of the Department of Defense (see FYIs #150, 151, 152). The downsizing would take place over five years. The amendment was rejected, 135-286. Below are the names of representatives who voted FOR the amendment to cut national lab staffing, and those who did not vote. Those who voted AGAINST the amendment are not listed.
