Ah, perhaps I did not provide sufficient context - this is the proposed CR text
from the Senate _republicans_ and it is intentionally “clean”, i.e. it doesn’t include 
any riders to change spending levels.  To the extent that the Senate democrats 
(who have said they won’t accept such due to issues such as the Flint MI water
situation) want to open it up to add riders, then it is not clear if that provides an 
opportunity for introduction of the “IANA transition prohibition” clause.

p.s. my views alone.
