On July 19, 1995, the House of Representatives defeated a provision to cut the BATF budget by a vote of 317-111. The amendment, introduced by Rep. Helen Chenoweth (R-ID), would have sent a strong message to BATF officials that bad conduct should not be rewarded with pay increases. The Representatives listed below voted against the pay cut and should receive a firm rebuke from their constituents.
