what was the vote in the House for creation of the EPA?

The House did not cast one simple “creation of the EPA” vote in the usual bill sense; the key House action was a voice vote that defeated a resolution to disapprove Nixon’s reorganization plan, which cleared the way for the EPA’s creation. The EPA says the House and Senate approved the proposal after hearings, and one summary notes the House defeated the disapproval resolution by voice vote.

What that means

• The EPA was formed through Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970 , not a standalone EPA-creation bill.

• In the House, the important step was rejecting an attempt to block it, rather than passing a direct “create the EPA” roll-call vote.

• Because it was a voice vote , there was no official numbered tally recorded in that House action.

If you want the exact congressional wording

The most precise answer is: the House approved the EPA’s creation indirectly by voice vote, by defeating the disapproval resolution.
