                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 26, 2007.
    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. 249) to restore the prohibition on the 
commercial sale and slaughter of wild free-roaming horses and burros. 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 equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Natural Resources. After general debate the bill 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill shall be 
considered as read. Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the 
bill 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. 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. During consideration in the House of H.R. 249 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
