                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 23, 2008.
    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. 2830) to authorize appropriations for the Coast Guard for fiscal year 
2008, 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 except 
those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. 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 
Transportation and Infrastructure and 20 minutes equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Homeland 
Security. After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under 
the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendments in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, Homeland 
Security, 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 except those arising 
under clause 10 of rule XXI. 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 
except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. 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.
    Sec. 2.  In the engrossment of H.R. 2830, the Clerk shall--
     (a) add the text of H.R. 2399, as passed by the House, as new matter at the 
end of H.R. 2830;
    (b) conform the title of H.R. 2830 to reflect the addition to the 
engrossment of H.R. 2399;
    (c) assign appropriate designations to provisions within the engrossment; 
and
    (d) conform provisions for short titles within the engrossment.
    Sec. 3.  During consideration in the House of H.R. 2830 pursuant to this 
resolution, notwithstanding the operation of the previous question, the Chair 
may postpone further consideration of the bill to such time as may be designated 
by the Speaker.
    Sec. 4.  The chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary is authorized, on 
behalf of the Committee, to file a supplemental report to accompany H.R. 2830.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
