AI Summary
This Resolution sets forth the rules for considering several important pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives, essentially streamlining the process to allow for quick votes. Specifically, it allows for the consideration of joint resolutions (H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, and H.J. Res. 73) that would make continuing appropriations, meaning they would provide temporary funding for fiscal year 2014 for various government operations, including the National Park Service, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, local funds for the District of Columbia, veterans' benefits, and the National Institutes of Health. The Resolution also allows for the consideration of a bill (H.R. 3230) that would ensure pay for reserve members of the Armed Forces during a government shutdown, and it permits the Speaker to consider motions to suspend the rules at certain times. In essence, this Resolution waives certain procedural hurdles, limits debate time, and allows for swift votes on these funding measures and related legislation.
