    Motion by Ms. Slaughter to amend the rule for H.R. 6365 to 
make in order and provide the appropriate waivers for amendment 
#1, offered by Rep. Van Hollen (MD), which would replace the 
entire sequester for 2013--which would cause deep cuts to 
important domestic priorities and defense, and even cut 
Medicare--with savings from specific policies that reflect a 
balanced approach to deficit reduction. Would protect our most 
vulnerable citizens, asks those earning over $1 million per 
year to contribute more, eliminates Agriculture direct 
payments, and cuts subsidies for Big Oil. Defeated: 3-8.
