Lobbying: 3 filings cite this bill
Filings whose specific-issues text cites the bill, as the filers typed it ("H.R. 6495"). The LDA does not disclose positions on a bill (support or oppose), so none appear here; a filing is attributed to a Congress by its filing year. Counts, never dollars. ‡ lobbying estimates

Money facing this bill

Votes: 0 roll calls tied to this bill by the chambers' own documents
No roll call in the loaded votes ties to this bill. A vote whose document reference did not parse to a bill keeps its reference as filed and cannot appear here. ‡ votes, not motives
Coverage: bills are loaded for Congresses 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119. We have not collected a Congress missing from that list, so its bills do not show here even though they exist. Lobbying citations cover the LDA years we collected; votes cover the loaded roll-call files. ‡ correlation, not purchase ‡ lobbying estimates ‡ votes, not motives
