    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. 2216) making appropriations for military construction, the Department 
of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 
30, 2014, 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. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are 
waived. During consideration of the bill for amendment, the chair of the 
Committee of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis of 
whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the 
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of 
rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. When the 
committee rises and reports the bill back to the House with a recommendation 
that the bill do pass, 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.

for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, and for other purposes. The first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against

Points of order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 
2 of rule XXI are waived except for section 563. During consideration of the

House with a recommendation that the bill do pass, 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.  Pending the adoption of a concurrent resolution on the budget for 
fiscal year 2014, the provisions of House Concurrent Resolution 25, as adopted 
by the House, shall have force and effect in the House as though Congress has 
adopted such concurrent resolution, and the allocations of spending authority
