H. Res. 865

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         June 13, 2006.
    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. 5576) making appropriations for the Departments of Transportation, 
Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, District of 
Columbia, and independent agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
2007, 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 ``to'' on page 5, line 23 through the comma on line 24; 
beginning with the colon on page 6, line 22 through ``year'' on line 26; 
beginning with ``for'' on page 13, line 1 through ``Code'' on line 6; beginning 
with the colon on page 13, line 17 through ``expended'' on line 25; and sections 
120, 127, 129, 206, 530, 707, and 931. Where points of order are waived against 
part of a paragraph, points of order against language in another part of such 
paragraph may be made only against such other part and not against the entire 
paragraph. 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.

                                                                 Clerk.
