[H. Res. 248 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        April 28, 2005.
    Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to 
consider the conference report to accompany 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. All points of order against the conference report and against its 
consideration are waived. The conference report shall be considered as read. The 
conference report shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget.
    Sec. 2. (a) During the One Hundred Ninth Congress, except as provided in 
subsection (c), a motion that the Committee of the Whole rise and report a bill 
to the House shall not be in order if the bill, as amended, exceeds an 
applicable allocation of new budget authority under section 302(b) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as estimated by the Committee on the Budget.
    (b) If a point of order under subsection (a) is sustained, the Chair shall 
put the question: ``Shall the Committee of the Whole rise and report the bill to 
the House with such amendments as may have been adopted notwithstanding that the 
bill exceeds its allocation of new budget authority under section 302(b) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974?''. Such question shall be debatable for 10 
minutes equally divided and controlled by a proponent of the question and an 
opponent but shall be decided without intervening motion.
    (c) Subsection (a) shall not apply--
            (1) to a motion offered under clause 2(d) of rule XXI; or
            (2) after disposition of a question under subsection (b) on a given 
        bill.
    (d) If a question under subsection (b) is decided in the negative, no 
further amendment shall be in order except--
            (1) one proper amendment, which shall be debatable for 10 minutes 
        equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall 
        not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
        division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole; 
        and
            (2) pro forma amendments, if offered by the chairman or ranking 
        minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or their designees, 
        for the purpose of debate.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
