Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. The Committee 
granted, by a record vote of 7 to 3, an open rule providing one hour of 
general debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. The rule waives all 
points of order against consideration of the bill. The rule waives 
points of order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply 
with clause 2 of rule XXI. Under the Rules of the House the bill shall 
be read for amendment by paragraph. The rule provides that the bill 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The rule 
authorizes the Chair to accord priority in recognition to Members who 
have pre-printed their amendments in the Congressional Record. The rule 
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. The rule 
provides that, until the adoption of a conference report on the budget 
resolution, the allocations of spending authority printed in Tables 11 
and 12 of the Budget Committee report accompanying the House-passed 
budget resolution shall be considered to be the allocations under 
section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. Finally, the 
rule waives clause 6(a) of rule XIII (requiring a two-thirds vote to 
consider a rule on the same day it is reported from the Rules 
Committee) against any resolution reported on May 10, 2012, providing 
for consideration or disposition of any measure reported by the 
Committee on the Budget relating to section 201 of House Concurrent 
Resolution 112. Testimony was heard from Representatives Wolf and
