This is the house vote on the AWB. The vote was taken in May, 94.

Yes; but you are confusing two separate bills. H.R. 4296 passed the House but was placed on the Senate Calendar and never went anywhere and never became law. Instead, Senator Feinstein had already amended H.R. 3355 (The Omnibus Crime Bill) with the AWB and it passed the Senate and went to conference on November 19, 1993 (prior to H.R. 4296).
The House had already agreed to the Senate Amendment on 4/21/1994 and the Conference Report was filed on 8/21/1994. H.R. 4296 ended up being mostly symbolic.
