Reply #7: Thanks for posting that. You made me do some research

that will come in handy, I think. I was reading another blog earlier, and a RWer sneeringly said that this act passed 90-8 in the senate, and that Biden voted for it and McCain did not vote. He then directed to this:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s1999-354

which seemed to confirm what he said. But then you posted this:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s1999-105

which shows the bill passing 54-44, with Biden voting against it and McCain voting for it. Both bills are labelled the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

It wasn't until I clicked on primary source that I saw what was going on. Here are those two links:

May 1999: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/r...

Nov 1999: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/r...

The second vote involved a question on a conference report on the Act, not the Act itself.

Now I need to see if I can remember where I saw the RWer's post so I can go back and eddicate him.
