An amendment vote decides whether to add a proposed change to the bill being considered. It does not pass or reject the bill itself, which requires a separate passage vote.

The bill still needs a separate passage vote; this vote did not decide whether the bill passes.

The amendment would have shifted $350 million from energy research funding to a debt-reduction account. Because it failed, that proposed change was not made to the bill.

• ARPA-E and energy researchers
  The proposed $350 million funding cut was not adopted, so the funding remains in the bill for now.
• The bill's consideration
  The bill was not passed or rejected by this amendment vote and still requires a separate passage vote.
