1 row here has the same law, recipient, purpose and amount as another row. The Congressional Record may print one item more than once. The count and the total include each row.

Read from the lists Congress printed for 4 laws. An item requested by several members appears under each of them, so sums across members count such an item more than once. A requester is tied to a member only when exactly one member serving in that chamber on that day has the printed name.

Where this comes from

Each vote comes from our saved copy of the official House or Senate roll call file. Open a law to see the file and its fingerprint.
