                        INCONSISTENCY IN VOTING

  (Mr. SKAGGS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. SKAGGS. Mr. Speaker, the work of any legislative body always 
involves compromise, and so absolutes like consistency, for instance, 
are always in short supply. Those backing the A to Z proposal have 
seemed especially resolute, however, in claiming the high ground on 
fiscal discipline, so Members can imagine the surprise and confusion 
late Tuesday night when 191 of our colleagues who had previously signed 
the discharge petition on A to Z then voted for the Baker amendment to 
the Labor-HHS appropriation bill.
  That amendment added $1 million to appropriations for libraries, but 
made no offsetting cuts, even through this bill was already at the 
maximum allowed under the caps imposed on our subcommittee. Those 
voting for this cap-breaking amendment included even the gentleman from 
New Jersey [Mr. Andrews] and the gentleman from New Hampshire [Mr. 
Zeliff], the authors of A to Z. I guess there is a subtlety to this 
that I am missing.
  Anyway, I thought the Record ought to include a full accounting of 
Members who have signed the discharge petition and who backed Baker, to 
boot.
  Mr. Speaker, I include a list of those Members for the Record at this 
point.
