A recorded vote on the amendment was delayed until this afternoon, when it failed 196 to 231 – a much narrower margin than the short-term extension received. In opposing the amendment, Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) argued that the reauthorization process, rather than an appropriations bill, was the proper venue to discuss changes to the law. If a handful of lawmakers agree, and are convinced by the hearings and debates expected over the next three months, it could add up to enough votes to pass reforms to the controversial provisions.

Chaffetz at least voted for this.
