Where the record has a member-by-member vote, the “Who voted for it” section shows who voted yea.
Summary
The Congressional Research Service’s plain-language summary of what the law does.
(Measure passed House, amended, roll call #337 (394-20))
Amends the Internal Revenue Code to extend the authority to impose: (1) the tax on noncommercial aviation fuel and the tax on civil aircraft use from July 1, 1980, to October 1, 1980; and (2) the taxes on air transportation of persons and property from June 30, 1980, to September 30, 1980.
Reduces the civil aircraft use tax rate for the transitional period of July 1, 1980 through October 1, 1980: (1) from $25 to $6.25 plus; (2) one-half cent per pound (currently two cents per pound) of the maximum certificated takeoff weight in excess of 2,500 pounds in the case of an aircraft which is not turbine- engine-powered; or (3) seven-eighths cent per pound (currently, three-and-one-half cents per pound) for each pound of the maximum certificated takeoff weight in the case of a turbine-engine-powered aircraft.
Postpones the due date for filing any return of the civil aircraft use tax with respect to any use after June 30, 1980, until October 31, 1980.
Amends the Airport and Airway Revenue Act of 1970 to extend the Airport and Airway Trust Fund from July 1, 1980, to October 1, 1980.

Data notes
The House’s recorded vote on the final version of the law (roll call 978 in Voteview), matched to the vote the record cites and checked against its totals. Positions are each member’s DW-NOMINATE score for that Congress, as on the Ideology page; left to right is more liberal to more conservative. Paired and announced yea votes count as yea. Lists follow the compass, most liberal first. A name links to a profile only for members of the current Congress. A law passed by voice vote or unanimous consent has no member list, and neither does a vote Voteview has not yet recorded.
Committees
The committees the bill was sent to, and what each did with it.
Data notes
A committee links to its page only where it exists in the current Congress; older and renamed committees are named without a link.
