AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering several important legislative items in the House of Representatives. Primarily, it sets the terms for debating and amending H.R. 3494, a bill that authorizes funding for fiscal year 2020 for the nation's intelligence agencies, the Community Management Account (which supports various intelligence community programs), and the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System. The resolution streamlines the process by waiving certain procedural objections, limiting debate time, and specifying which amendments will be considered. Additionally, it provides a framework for considering House Report 116-125 and an accompanying resolution, and it creates a privileged process for considering measures that would disapprove of certain arms sales, exports, or approvals under the Arms Export Control Act, a law governing the international transfer of defense articles and services. Finally, the resolution makes it in order to consider H. Res. 489, a resolution condemning President Trump's remarks directed at Members of Congress, also with a structured debate and a waiver of procedural objections.
