The House, on December 22, 1913,
agreed to the conference report on the Federal Reserve Act by a vote of 298 yeas to 60 nays with 76 not voting. The Senate, on December 23, 1913, agreed to it by a vote of 43 yeas to 25 nays with 27 not voting. The record shows that there were no Democrats voting “nay” in the Senate and only two in the House.
The record also shows that almost all of those not voting on the bill had previously declared their intentions and were paired with members of opposite intentions.
Merry Christmas!
