Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the
bill (H.R. 1817) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2006 for the
Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes. The first reading of
the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of
the bill are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not
exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking
minority member of the Committee on Homeland Security. After general debate the
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of
the amendments recommended by the Committees on Homeland Security, Energy and
Commerce, and the Judiciary now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to
consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute
rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in part A of the report
of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against
that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. Notwithstanding clause
11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute
shall be in order except those printed in part B of the report of the Committee
on Rules. Each amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the report,
may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as
read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in
the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order against such
amendments are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such
amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in
the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or
to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text.
The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
