Steve Pearce (R-NM-2) offered a floor amendment to restore $10 million previously cut for the Reliable Replacement Warhead. The amendment was soundly defeated 144-271. A total of 44 Republicans opposed the Pearce amendment.<BR/> <BR/>Earlier, the House Armed Services Committee had rejected the administration's request of $10 million for the warhead in its version of the defense authorization bill. Pearce's floor amendment was to that bill.<BR/> <BR/>Rep. Heather Wilson (R-NM-1) voted for the amendment, and Rep. Tom Udall (D-NM-3) voted against.<BR/> <BR/>There will likely be more votes on the issue in the House and Senate, but yesterday's vote was a significant victory. Sen. Pete Domenici will play a key role in the fate of the new warhead, as the Ranking Member of the Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee. He should be encouraged to oppose it.<BR/> <BR/>Rep. Pearce had proposed a second amendment to restore funds cut from Energy Department's "pit manufacturing" accounts. That amendment was not allowed by the House Rules Committee.<BR/> <BR/>Please feel free to forward this message to other New Mexicans.
