       Recent Senate Votes
       Military Sexual Assault Prosecutions – Passage - Vote Passed
       (97-0, 3 Not Voting)
       
       Senators finished work on reforming the military's practices for
       reporting and prosecuting sexual assaults within its ranks on
       Monday, passing a bill written by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO.
       The bill would amend the National Defense Authorization Act for
       Fiscal Year 2014 to require special victims' counsels in sexual
       assault cases and forbid using the defendant’s military record
       in defense arguments. The bill would also require the evaluation
       of whether commanding officers have established a climate in
       which allegations of sexual assault are properly managed and
       fairly evaluated and a victim can report criminal activity
       without fear of retaliation or ostracism.
       
       Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
       Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES

       Secretary of Health and Human Services, in conjunction with the
       Secretary of Education, to conduct a review of Federal early

       streamlining the various programs. The block grant program was
