                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         June 16, 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 consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 4567) making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security 
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005, 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: the proviso under the heading 
``United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology''; the proviso 
under the heading ``Customs and Border Protection, Automation Modernization''; 
the proviso under the heading ``Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Automation 
Modernization''; the final proviso under the heading ``Transportation Security 
Administration, Aviation Security''; the words ``notwithstanding any other 
provision of law'' under the heading ``State and Local Programs''; the second 
proviso under the heading ``National Pre-Disaster Mitigation Fund''; section 
512; the final proviso in section 513; sections 514, 515, 519, and 520; all 
after the word ``met'' in section 524; section 525, and subsection 526(b). 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. 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. 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.
