The House of Representatives was scheduled to vote on a bill today that would have made it far more difficult to build federal buildings in the classical style, but a successful pressure campaign from conservatives led to the bill being pulled from the floor schedule.

The bill in question, H.R. 6317, was sponsored by Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) and would have required the General Services Administration to solicit public comments for any design guidelines or rules for the construction of federal buildings.
