About this vote

The Vietnam Veterans Liver Fluke Cancer Study Act requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to study and report on how common cholangiocarcinoma, a bile duct cancer, is among veterans who served in the Vietnam theater of operations during the Vietnam era. Suspending the rules is a fast-track process that limits debate, bars amendments and needs a two-thirds vote; the amended bill passed.
