   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 5136) to authorize 
  appropriations for fiscal year 2011 for military activities of the 
 Department of Defense, to prescribe military personnel strengths for 
  such fiscal year, and for other purposes; waiving a requirement of 
   clause 6(a) of rule XIII with respect to consideration of certain 
    resolutions reported from the Committee on Rules; 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 further consideration of the bill (H.R. 5136) to 
authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2011 for military activities 
of the Department of Defense, to prescribe military personnel strengths 
for such fiscal year, 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 chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Armed Services. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule.
    Sec. 2. (a) 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 Committee on Armed 
Services 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 except those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI.
    (b) 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 and amendments en bloc described in 
section 3 of this resolution.
    (c) Each amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
shall be considered only in the order printed in the report (except as 
specified in section 4 of this resolution), 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.
    (d) All points of order against amendments printed in 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 chair of the 
Committee on Armed Services or his designee to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments printed in the report of the Committee on 
Rules accompanying this resolution 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 chair and ranking minority member 
of the Committee on Armed Services or their designees, shall not be 
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division 
of the question. 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.  The Chair of the Committee of the Whole may recognize for 
consideration of any amendment printed in the report of the Committee 
on Rules accompanying this resolution out of the order printed, but not 
sooner than 30 minutes after the chair of the Committee on Armed 
Services or his designee announces from the floor a request to that 
effect.
    Sec. 5.  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. 6.  The Chair may entertain a motion that the Committee rise 
only if offered by the chair of the Committee on Armed Services 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. 7.  In the engrossment of H.R. 5136, the Clerk shall--
     (a) add the text of H.R. 5013, as passed by the House, as new 
matter at the end of H.R. 5136;
    (b) assign appropriate designations to provisions within the 
engrossment; and
    (c) conform provisions for short titles within the engrossment.
    Sec. 8.  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 June 1, 2010.
    Sec. 9.  It shall be in order at any time through the calendar day 
of May 30, 2010, for the Speaker to entertain motions that the House
