    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution

and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or their 
designees each may offer one pro forma amendment to the bill for the 
purpose of debate, which shall be controlled by the proponent.
    Sec. 3.  The Chair may entertain a motion that the Committee rise 
only if offered by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations 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. 4.  It shall be in order at any time through the calendar day 
of August 1, 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.
