                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                           May 2, 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. 1867) to authorize appropriations for fiscal 
years 2008, 2009, and 2010 for the National Science Foundation, 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 equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Science and Technology. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule. 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 
recommended by the Committee on Science and Technology now printed in the bill. 
All points of order against the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute are waived except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. 
Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the committee amendment 
in the nature of a substitute 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. 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 committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute. 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. 1867 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.
