United States House Committee on Appropriations. The corresponding report was report 113-417. On May 1, 2014, the House voted in Roll Call Vote 193 to pass the bill 402–14. Debate and discussion The amount of money appropriated in this bill is 3.7% lower than President Barack Obama requested in his 2015 United States presidential budget request. The House and Senate customarily defer to each other regarding each chamber's spending levels, so this bill only includes funding for the House and not the Senate. The legislation retains the freeze on member salaries that has existed since 2010. Hal Rogers, the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said that "the House will continue to led by example and hold the line on spending." The Library of Congress and Librarian of Congress James Billington were praised for their work at digitalizing the library by Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK). According to Rep. Cole, the bill meets its goals "in both an effective and efficient manner, and has done so in a genuinely bipartisan, inclusive and deliberative fashion."
