Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution sets the rules for the House to consider two separate bills on the same day. The first bill would officially rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America" in all federal documents and maps. The second bill would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from providing funding to colleges and universities that have partnerships with Confucius Institutes, which are Chinese government-sponsored cultural and language programs. Both bills would receive one hour of debate time before a final vote, with equal time given to supporters and opponents. The resolution waives normal procedural objections that could delay or block consideration of either bill, ensuring they can move quickly to a vote.
