Committee on Rules: Full Committee held a hearing on H.J. Res. 124, the 
``Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2015''. The committee granted,

or his designee, which shall be considered as read, shall be separately 
debatable for six hours equally divided and controlled by 
Representative McKeon of California and Representative Smith of 
Washington or their respective designees, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question. The rule waives all points of order against the amendment 
printed in part B of the report. The rule provides one motion to 
recommit with or without instructions. In section 2, the rule amends
