H. Res. 836

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 25, 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. 5441) making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security 
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: beginning with the comma on page 38, 
line 11 through ``funds'' on line 14; section 512; beginning with ``or'' on page 
54, line 12 through ``appropriation'' on line 13; and section 536. Where points 
of order are waived against part of a paragraph or section, points of order 
against a provision in another part of such paragraph or section may be made 
only against such provision and not against the entire paragraph or section. 
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.



            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
