H. Res. 303
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
June 8, 2005.
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. 2744) making appropriations for Agriculture,
Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, 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 Appropriations. After general debate the
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. Points of
order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule
XXI are waived except as follows: beginning with the colon on page 54, line 4,
through ``overseas'' on line 9; section 749; page 81, lines 1 though 7; and
beginning with ``and'' on page 81, line 11, through ``programs'' on line 17.
Where points of order are waived against part of a paragraph or section, points
of order against a provision in another part of such paragraph or section may be
made only against such provision and not against the entire paragraph or
section. During consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the
Committee of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis of
whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of
rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. When the
committee rises and reports the bill back to the House with a recommendation
that the bill do pass, 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.
Attest:
Clerk.
