You are right - hopefully it was because Pelosi told him not to look to her for votes for it.

>> House GOP Will Trade Debt Deal for Reversing Pension Cut
>> "The House is likely to vote Wednesday on a plan to extend the government's borrowing authority into 2015 in exchange for reversing a cut to the pensions of working-age military veterans that Congress approved just two months ago to try to trim the budget deficit," theNew York Times reports.
>> 
>> "The plan, presented to House Republicans on Monday evening by their leaders, represents a dramatic reversal for the House after three years of using the debt ceiling to extract major spending cuts and conservative policy changes. In this instance, the debt ceiling deadline -- looming at the end of this month -- will be used to reverse the only difficult spending cut included in a budget and deficit-reduction deal reached in December."
>> 
>> Roll Call: "The deal remains tenuous, however, as leaders will still have to round up a large swath of support from the Republican Conference."
