H. Res. 1105

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                     February 25, 2010.
    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. 2701) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2010 for 
intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States 
Government, the Community Management Account, and the Central Intelligence 
Agency Retirement and Disability System, 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 of rule 
XXI. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour 
equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 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 Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence 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. 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 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. 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. 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.  The Chair may entertain a motion that the Committee rise only if 
offered by the chair of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence or his 
designee. The Chair may not entertain a motion to strike out the enacting words 
of the bill (as described in clause 9 of rule XVIII).
    Sec. 3.  After passage of H.R. 2701, it shall be in order to consider in the 
House S. 1494. All points of order against the Senate bill and against its 
consideration are waived. It shall be in order to move to strike all after the 
enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions 
of H.R. 2701 as passed by the House. All points of order against that motion are 
waived. If the motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, 
then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on its amendment to S. 
1494 and request a conference with the Senate thereon.
    Sec. 4.  The requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII for a two-thirds vote 
to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the same day it is presented 
to the House is waived with respect to any resolution reported through the 
legislative day of February 26, 2010.
    Sec. 5.  It shall be in order at any time through the legislative day of 
February 26, 2010, for the Speaker to entertain motions that the House suspend 
the rules. The Speaker or her designee shall consult with the Minority Leader or 
his designee on the designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to this 
section.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
