                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        March 16, 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 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 95) establishing the congressional budget 
for the United States Government for fiscal year 2006, revising appropriate 
budgetary levels for fiscal year 2005, and setting forth appropriate budgetary 
levels for fiscal years 2007 through 2010. The first reading of the concurrent 
resolution shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of 
the concurrent resolution are waived. General debate shall not exceed five 
hours, with four hours of general debate confined to the congressional budget 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on the Budget and one hour of general debate on the subject of 
economic goals and policies equally divided and controlled by Representative 
Saxton of New Jersey and Representative Maloney of New York or their designees. 
After general debate 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 an opponent 
and a proponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to 
a demand for division of the question in the House and in the Committee of the 
Whole. All points of order against such 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, the 
Committee shall rise and report the concurrent resolution to the House with such 
amendments 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.
    Sec. 2. After adoption of House Concurrent Resolution 95, it shall be in 
order to take from the Speaker's table Senate Concurrent Resolution 18 and to 
consider the Senate concurrent resolution in the House. All points of order 
against the Senate concurrent resolution and against its consideration are 
waived. It shall be in order to move to strike all after the resolving clause of 
the Senate concurrent resolution and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions of 
House Concurrent Resolution 95 as adopted by the House. All points of order 
against that motion are waived.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
