    In compliance with paragraph 7 of Rule XXVI of the Standing 
Rules of the Senate, the following rollcall votes were taken 
during the consideration of this allocation:
    (1) Senator Byrd moved that the Senate Committee on 
Appropriations increase the 302(b) allocations for the 
Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, 
and Related Agencies; for the Subcommittee on Homeland 
Security; and for the Subcommittee on Veterans Affairs, Housing 
and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies by a total of 
$5.569 billion for fiscal year 2004.
    Within that amount, moved that the Labor, Health and Human 
Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Subcommittee be increased by $2.86 billion; that the Homeland 
Security Appropriations Subcommittee be increased by $909 
million; and that the Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban 
Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations 
Subcommittee be increased by $1.8 billion.
    Further, moved that the increase in the allocations to 
those subcommittees be offset by a corresponding reduction in 
the level of tax cuts provided under the Jobs and Growth Tax
