[H. Res. 517 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         June 27, 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. 2829) making appropriations for financial 
services and general government 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 in the House of H.R. 2829 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. 3.  It shall be in order, any rule of the House to the contrary 
notwithstanding, to consider concurrent resolutions providing for the 
adjournment of the House and Senate during the month of July.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
