H. Res. 440

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                    September 15, 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 
bill (H.R. 889) to authorize appropriations for the Coast Guard for fiscal year 
2006, to make technical corrections to various laws administered by the Coast 
Guard, 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 Transportation and Infrastructure. After general debate the bill 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in 
order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the 
five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure now printed in the bill. The 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title 
rather than by section. Each title shall be considered as read. All points of 
order against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. 
Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the committee amendment 
in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those printed in the 
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of 
rule XVIII and except pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate. Each 
amendment so printed may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be 
printed or his designee and 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. Any Member may 
demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of 
the Whole to the bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute. 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.
    Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of Thursday, 
September 15, 2005, for the Speaker to entertain a motion that the House suspend 
the rules relating to the bill H.R. 3768.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
