      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2638) making 
 appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal 
        year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes.

    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. 2638) making 
appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal 
year ending September 30, 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 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. 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.
    Sec. 2. During consideration of H.R. 2638 in the House 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.
