Agreement on Military sexual assault bills

The Senate has reached an agreement to consider the military sexual assault bills. When the Senate executes the agreement (likely within the next 2 weeks), there would be competing cloture votes on S.1752, the Military Justice Improvement Act of 2013 (Gillibrand) and S.1917, the Victims Protection Act of 2014 (McCaskill). If cloture is invoked on either of the bills, the Senate would immediately proceed to vote on passage of the respective bill, with no amendments, points of order, or motions in order.
