   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2317) to amend the 
Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 to require registered lobbyists to file 
quarterly reports on contributions bundled for certain recipients, and 
  for other purposes and providing for the consideration of the bill 
   (H.R. 2316) to provide more rigorous requirements with respect to 
 disclosure and enforcement of lobbying laws and regulations, and for 
                            other purposes.

    Resolved,  That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
it shall be in order to consider in the House the bill (H.R. 2317) to 
amend the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 to require registered 
lobbyists to file quarterly reports on contributions bundled for 
certain recipients, and for other purposes. All points of order against 
consideration of the bill are waived except those arising under clause 
9 or 10 of rule XXI. The amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on the Judiciary now printed in the bill, 
modified by the amendment printed in part A of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, shall be considered as 
adopted. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. All points 
of order against the bill, as amended, are waived. The previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, to 
final passage without intervening motion except: (1) one hour of debate 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on the Judiciary; and (2) one motion to 
recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2. Upon 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. 2316) to provide more rigorous 
requirements with respect to disclosure and enforcement of lobbying 
laws and regulations, 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 the Judiciary. 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 the 
Judiciary now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. 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 part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each such 
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 
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. 3. During consideration of H.R. 2317 or H.R. 2316 pursuant to 
this resolution, notwithstanding the operation of the previous 
question, the Chair may postpone further consideration of either bill 
to such time as may be designated by the Speaker.
    Sec. 4. Subparagraph (3)(Q) of clause 5(a) of rule XXV is amended 
to read as follows: ``(Q) Free attendance at an event permitted under 
subparagraph (4).''.
