VRA Vote Set in House for Tomorrow; King Amendment on Section 203 Language Provisions May Be Allowed---Is Bailout Out?

See this CQ Midday report. Scroll down. There is no mention of the bail out amendment.
As I understood the original deal, the only amendments that were going to be allowed were those the leadership thought were going to fail. Will bail out be out because it has a chance of success? (It is not mentioned in the CQ report as a possible amendment---just a note on "two or three amendments"). We should know tonight, when the new Rule is announced.
