SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

Senate amendments to H.R. 3547. The resolution makes in order 

a single motion offered by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations or his designee that the House concur in the Senate 

amendment to the title and concur in the Senate amendment to the 

text with an amendment inserting the text of Rules Committee

Section 4 of the resolution provides that on any legislative day 

during the period from January 17, 2014, through January 24, 

2014: the Journal of the proceedings of the previous day shall be 

considered as approved; and the Chair may at any time declare the 

House adjourned to meet at a date and time to be announced by 

the Chair in declaring the adjournment. 

Section 5 of the resolution provides that the Speaker may appoint Members to perform the duties of the Chair for the duration 

of the period addressed by section 4 of the resolution. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the motion, includes the following: 

Clause 7 of rule XVI, requiring that no motion or proposition on 

a subject different from that under consideration shall be admitted 

under color of amendment. Provisions contained in Rules Committee Print 113–32 are not germane to the underlying measure. 

Clause 10 of rule XXI, prohibiting the consideration of a bill if 

it has the net effect of increasing mandatory spending over the 

five- or ten-year period. The waiver is necessary because of the cost 

associated with provisions addressing medically retired military 

personnel and survivor benefit plan recipients. 

Section 302(c) of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting consideration of an appropriation measure until that committee has 

made its sub-allocation under section 302(b). 

Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act, prohibiting consideration of legislation within the jurisdiction of the Committee on 

the Budget unless referred to or reported by the Budget Committee.
