                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        August 2, 2007.
    Resolved, That during further consideration of the bill (H.R. 3161) making 
appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, 
and Related Agencies programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and 
for other purposes, the bill shall be considered as read. No further debate on 
any pending amendment shall be in order. A further period of general debate 
shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 30 minutes equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Appropriations. 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. Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule 
XVIII, no further amendment shall be in order except those printed in part B of 
the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. 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, 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. 2.  After a motion that the Committee rise has been rejected on a 
legislative day, the Chair may entertain another such motion on that day only if 
offered by the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations or the Majority 
Leader or designee. After a motion to strike out the enacting words of the bill 
(as described in clause 9 of rule XVIII) has been rejected, the Chair may not 
entertain another such motion during further consideration of the bill.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
