                         HON. ROBERT H. MICHEL

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 1994

  Mr. MICHEL. Mr. Speaker, I submit for the Record the rollcall votes 
on health care reform which took place in the Ways and Means Committee 
on June 28, 1994.

       The following votes were taken on June 28, 1994 in the 
     Committee on Ways and Means during consideration of Acting 
     Chairman Gibbons' substitute proposal for H.R. 3600, The 
     Health Security Act of 1994:
       An amendment by Mr. Gibbons establishing a National Health 
     Cost Commission, appointed by the President, that would 
     report to Congress on whether the private sector cost 
     containment provisions provided for in the mark should be 
     implemented in 2001. This amendment would delay imposition of 
     such price controls until at least 2001, and in 2000 Congress 
     could be required to consider whether, under fast track 
     rules, alternative cost containment recommendations that may 
     be made by the National Health Cost Commission. Adopted 20-
     18.
