H. Res. 818

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 18, 2006.
    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. 5386) making appropriations for the Department of the Interior, 
environment, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007, 
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: page 
73, lines 3 through 8; section 425; and title V. 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. When the committee rises and reports the bill back 
to the House with a recommendation that the bill do pass, 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. (a) Upon adoption of House Concurrent Resolution 376, and until a 
concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2007 has been adopted by the 
Congress, the provisions of House Concurrent Resolution 376 and its accompanying 
report shall have force and effect in the House for all purposes of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 as though adopted by the Congress.
    (b) Nothing in this section may be construed to engage rule XXVII.



            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
