                                                      January 15, 2013.
    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 152) making supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2013, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall 
be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill are 
waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one 
hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Appropriations. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to 
consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute 
rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in part A of the report 
of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No amendment to that 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those printed 
in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. After disposition of such 
amendments, the Chair shall put the question on the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute.
    Sec. 2.  If the amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in part A of 
the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution is not 
adopted, the Committee shall rise and report that it has come to no resolution 
on the bill. If the amendment in the nature of a substitute is adopted, the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as the original bill 
for the purpose of further amendment. No further amendment shall be in order 
except the amendments printed in part C of the report of the Committee on Rules. 
At the conclusion of consideration of the amendments printed in part C of the 
report of the Committee on Rules, the Committee shall rise and report the bill 
to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may 
demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of 
the Whole to the bill, to the amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in 
part A of the report of the Committee on Rules, or to amendment number 1 printed 
in part C of the report of the Committee on Rules. The previous question shall 
be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage 
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
    Sec. 3.  Each amendment printed in part B and part C of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution may be offered only in the order 
printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, 
shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the 
report equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall 
not be subject to amendment (except as specified in the report), and shall not 
be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. All points of order against such amendments are waived.
    Sec. 4.  In the engrossment of H.R. 152, the Clerk shall--
     (a) add the text of H.R. 219, as passed by the House, as new matter at the
