H. Res. 440
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
September 15, 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. 889) to authorize appropriations for the Coast Guard for fiscal year
2006, to make technical corrections to various laws administered by the Coast
Guard, 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 Transportation and Infrastructure. After general debate the bill
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 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 recommended by the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure now printed in the bill. The
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title
rather than by section. Each title shall be considered as read. All points of
order against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived.
Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the committee amendment
in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those printed in the
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of
rule XVIII and except pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate. Each
amendment so printed may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be
printed or his designee and shall be considered as read. 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 committee amendment in the nature of a
substitute. 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.
Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of Thursday,
September 15, 2005, for the Speaker to entertain a motion that the House suspend
the rules relating to the bill H.R. 3768.
Attest:
Clerk.
