Rose was the primary sponsor of 10 bills that were enacted. The most recent include:
- H.R. 2074 (103rd): To authorize appropriations for the American Folklife Center for fiscal years 1994, 1995, 1996, and 1997.

- H.R. 6590 (97th): No Net Cost Tobacco Program Act of 1982
Does 10 not sound like a lot? Very few bills are ever enacted — most legislators sponsor only a handful that are signed into law. But there are other legislative activities that we don’t track that are also important, including offering amendments, committee work and oversight of the other branches, and constituent services.
We consider a bill enacted if one of the following is true: a) it is enacted itself, b) it has a companion bill in the other chamber (as identified by Congress) which was enacted, or c) if at least about half of its provisions were incorporated into bills that were enacted (as determined by an automated text analysis, applicable beginning with bills in the 110th Congress).

Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1973 to Sep 1996, Rose missed 1,615 of 13,012 roll call votes, which is 12.4%. This is much worse than the median of 2.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Sep 1996. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
