H.Res. 653 – Rule providing for consideration of H.R. 2745 – Standard Merger and Acquisitions Reviews Through Equal Rules Act of 2015 (Rep. Farenthold – Judiciary) (One hour of debate). The Rules Committee has recommended a closed Rule that provides for one hour of general debate equally divided and controlled by the Chair and Ranking Member of the Committee on Judiciary. The Rule allows one motion to recommit and waives all points of order against the legislation.

The Daily Quote
“This was supposed to be the week when House Republicans adopted a budget blueprint for the coming fiscal year and proved they could end the dysfunction in Washington. Instead, they will adjourn Wednesday for a two-week-plus Easter recess with little to show for their efforts. When they return to work April 12, they will have only four days left to adopt a budget by the statutory deadline of April 15. While House leaders hope to use the recess to get a deal by then, the signs so far haven't been promising.” - CQ, 3/22/2016
