Abstract:

Roll call voting records for both chambers of the United States Congress through the second session of the 104th Congress are presented in this data collection. Each data file in the collection contains information for one chamber of a single Congress. The units of analysis in each part are the individual members of Congress. Each record contains a member's voting action on every roll call vote taken during that Congress, along with variables that identify the member (e.g., name, party, state, district, uniform ICPSR member number, and most recent means of attaining office). In addition, the codebook provides descriptive information for each roll call, including the date of the vote, outcome in terms of nays and yeas, name of initiator, the relevant bill or resolution number, and a synopsis of the issue.

Methodology and Processing

Sources Statement

Data Sources:

Materials for the House from the 1st through the 75th Congresses and for the Senate from the 1st through 73rd Congresses were keypunched from the Congressional Vote Analysis Collection originally prepared by Clifford Lord under Works Progress Administration auspices. Data for the Senate from the 74th through the 78th Congresses were supplied by Richard W. Kirkendall, the University of Missouri. Data for the House from the 76th through the 78th Congresses, and for both chambers of the 79th Congress through the 101st Congresses, were prepared by ICPSR staff utilizing the DAILY CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. Data for both Chambers from the 102nd through the 104th Congresses were prepared by Congressional Quarterly, Inc.;

Cleaning Operations:

CQ prepared the 102nd Congress roll call voting records in accordance with its acknowledged high standards of quality control. Upon receipt of these data from CQ, ICPSR performed an extensive set of operations intended to check the files for accuracy and correspondence to authoritative source materials. These included checking each data file for illegal or inconsistent code values, comparison of selected vote totals and descriptions with those appearing in the annual CQ ALMANAC, and preparation of SAS and SPSS data definition statements as well as full, machine-readable documentation.

Variable Text: DCR-137 Y=63 N=35 Mitchell (D, ME) S429. Vertical Price Fixing/Cloture. Mitchell, D-Maine, motion to invoke cloture (thus limiting debate) on the bill to amend the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 to tighten the ban on vertical price fixing, which occurs when a manufacturer conspires with a retailer to force a competing merchant to charge at least a certain price for goods or face a cutoff of supplies. The bill would lower the standard for evidence needed to get a resale price maintenance case to a jury. Motion agreed to 63-35: R 13-30; D 50-5 (ND 37-2, SD 13-3), May 8, 1991. A three-fifths majority vote (60) of the total Senate is required to invoke cloture.  (link)

Variable Text: DCR-137 Y=55 N=44 HR2212. Conditional MFN for China in 1992/Passage. Passage of the bill to prohibit the president from waiving the Jackson-Vanik amendment to the 1974 trade act with respect to China in 1992 unless he certifies China has accounted for and released all political prisoners; made progress in human rights; ceased exporting products produced with prison labor; ceased supplying arms to the Khmer Rouge; adhered to the Joint Declaration on Hong Kong; started providing protection for U.S. intellectual property; removed unfair trade barriers; and has adopted a national policy which limits the transfer of nuclear, chemical, and biological arms technology. Jackson-Vanik bars most-favored-nation trade status to communist countries that do not allow free emigration. The bill would also require the president to terminate MFN for China, if he finds that China has transferred ballistic missiles or launchers to Syria, Iran, or Pakistan. Passed 55-44: R 6-37; D 49-7 (ND 36-4, SD 13-3), July 23, 1991.  (link)
