This was too clever a move for Boehner to ever think of it. He doesn’t have the “jump” on anything except for maybe his next drink or tanning session.
Credit Bibbi for suggesting this brilliant move.
“Too clever a move for Boehner to ever think of it”

A third possibility is that a member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism and Non Proliferation could have broached the idea.
According to Wikipedia:
United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade
The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade is a standing subcommittee within the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
According to the committee rules, the Terrorism Subcommittee has “oversight and legislative responsibilities over the United States’ efforts to manage and coordinate international programs to combat terrorism”. It also has oversight over nonproliferation matters involving nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, as well as weapons of mass destruction in general. It also oversees international economic and trade policy; commerce with foreign countries; international investment policy. Agencies and organizations within its jurisdiction include the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, and the Export-Import Bank.
