appropriations for fiscal year 2019 for military activities of the

activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel 
strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; which was 
ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of subtitle A of title X, add the following:

     SEC. 1006. TREATMENT OF ACTIVITIES RELATING TO TRAINING AND 
                   READINESS OF THE ARMED FORCES DURING A LAPSE IN

     adding at the end the following new sentence: ``However, the 
     term does include any portion of a fiscal year during which 
     the appropriation bill for the fiscal year for the Department 
     of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security, as 
     applicable, has not become law and an Act or joint resolution 
     making continuing appropriations for the fiscal year is not 
     in effect, but only with respect to activities relating to 
     the training and readiness of the Armed Forces (including the 
     National Guard and the Reserves) carried out during such 
     portion of the fiscal year.''.
