He needs to negotiate it and have it approved by the conferees, many of whom are apparently quite opposed to it, albeit more on procedural grounds ("this doesn't belong here") than policy ones ("we heart gambling").

I just emailed my representative and used this procedural grounds argument. He's on the conference committee and voted in favor of H.R. 4411. He also has a reputation of ethics and honesty, so I reminded him of that and asked him to uphold the integrity of the legislature and let the Senate debate the merits of the gambling bill on its own, rather than sneaking it in through the back door.
