                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        March 25, 2004.
    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 further consideration 
of the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 393) establishing the congressional 
budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2005 and setting forth 
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2004 and 2006 through 2009. No 
further general debate shall be in order. The concurrent resolution shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The concurrent resolution 
shall be considered as read. No amendment shall be in order except those printed 
in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. 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, and shall not be subject to amendment. All points 
of order against the amendments are waived except that the adoption of an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the conclusion of 
consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment. After the conclusion 
of consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment and a final period 
of general debate, which shall not exceed 10 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the 
Budget, the Committee shall rise and report the concurrent resolution to the 
House with such amendment as may have been adopted. The previous question shall 
be considered as ordered on the concurrent resolution and amendments thereto to 
final adoption without intervening motion except amendments offered by the 
chairman of the Committee on the Budget pursuant to section 305(a)(5) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to achieve mathematical consistency. The 
concurrent resolution shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question of its adoption.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
