                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                     November 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 
bill (H.R. 1065) to establish the United States Boxing Commission to protect the 
general welfare of boxers and to ensure fairness in the sport of professional 
boxing. 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, with 40 minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce and 20 minutes equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. 
After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule. In lieu of the amendments recommended by the Committees on Energy 
and Commerce and the Judiciary now printed in the bill, 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 printed in part A of the report 
of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. Notwithstanding clause 
11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute 
shall be in order except those printed in part B of the report of the Committee 
on Rules. 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, 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. All points of order against such 
amendments are waived. 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. 
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.
