The legislative clerk read as follows: A bill (H.R. 5230) making supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, and for other purposes. A bill (H.R. 5272) to prohibit certain actions with respect to deferred action for aliens not lawfully present in the United States, and for other purposes.
