Article: For the Record; Here is how some major bills fared recently in Congress, and how local congressional members voted, as provided by Thomas's Roll Call Report Syndicate. NV means Not Voting.

The House passed a bill (HR 7) to launch President Bush's faith- based initiative by broadening the types of social services that religious charities may deliver with taxpayers' money. It authorizes federal grants for sectarian programs in areas such as domestic violence, community development, hunger relief, drug treatment and care for the elderly. Although the bill seeks to maintain the constitutional divide between church and state and comply with anti- bias laws, critics called it fatally flawed in that regard (next issue).

A yes vote was to pass the bill.
