    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker

Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 5121) making appropriations for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal

bill shall be dispensed with. 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. The bill 
shall be considered as read through page 61, line 16. Points of order against

waived except as follows: beginning with ``Provided'' on page 11, line 4, 
through line 9; page 16, line 21, through page 21, line 17. Where points of 
order are waived against part of a paragraph, points of order against a 
provision in another part of such paragraph may be made only against such

be in order except the amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution and except pro forma amendments offered by the 
chairman or ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or their 
designees for the purpose of debate. The amendment 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, and shall not be subject to 
amendment. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the 
Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such amendment as may 
have been adopted. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
bill and the amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion 
except one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
