Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2419) to provide for the 
continuation of agricultural programs through fiscal year 2012, 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. 2419) to provide for the 
continuation of agricultural programs through fiscal year 2012, 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 the amendments considered as adopted by this 
resolution and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Agriculture. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule.
    Sec. 2. (a) The amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended 
by the Committee on Agriculture now printed in the bill, modified by 
the amendments printed in part A of the report of the Committee on 
Rules accompanying this resolution, shall be considered as adopted in 
the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The bill, as amended, 
shall be considered as the original bill for the purpose of further 
amendment under the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. 
All points of order against provisions in the bill, as amended, are 
waived.
    (b) Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no further amendment 
to the bill, as amended, shall be in order except those printed in part 
B of the report of the Committee on Rules and amendments en bloc 
described in section 3 of this resolution.
    (c) Each further amendment printed in the report of the Committee 
on Rules shall be considered 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.
    (d) All points of order against further amendments printed in part 
B of the report of the Committee on Rules or amendments en bloc 
described in section 3 of this resolution are waived except those 
arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI.
    Sec. 3. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the 
Committee on Agriculture or his designee to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments printed in part B of the report of the 
Committee on Rules not earlier disposed of or germane modifications of 
any such amendments. Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this 
section shall be considered as read (except that modifications shall be 
reported), shall be debatable for 20 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
on Agriculture or their designees, 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. For the purpose of 
inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the form 
of a motion to strike may be modified to the form of a germane 
perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be stricken. 
The original proponent of an amendment included in such amendments en 
bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately 
before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
    Sec. 4. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to 
the House with such further 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. 5. During consideration in the House of H.R. 2419 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.
