Here are the votes of area senators and representatives on major legislation in Congress last week House Congressional pay raise: By a 231-192 vote the House passed a bill (HR 2378) appropriating $252 billion for the Department of the Treasury Postal Service and other agencies in fiscal 1998 The vote became controversial because some members said the parliamentary procedure for debating the bill had in effect sanctioned a 23 percent pay raise for members of Congress The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) would raise salaries by $3073 to $136673 It will take effect automatically unless blocked by the House and Senate The Senate already has rejected it House foes had announced they would offer an amendment to kill it when the Treasury-Postal bill came to the floor House leaders who support the raise countered that strategy by bringing HR 2378 forward in a way that made the blocking amendment out of order The bill then was debated and passed in less than one hour with no mention made of the pay issue A yes vote was to pass the Treasury-Postal appropriations bill North Carolina: Voting yes Eva Clayton (D) Bill Hefner (D) Cass Ballenger (R) Charles Taylor (R) Mel Watt (D) Voting no Bob
