                               RESOLUTION


 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2996) making 
  appropriations for the Department of the Interior, environment, and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, 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. 2996) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior, environment, and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, 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 
Appropriations. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI 
are waived. Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, except as provided 
in section 2, no amendment shall be in order except: (1) the amendment 
printed in part A of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
this resolution; (2) the amendments printed in part B of the report of 
the Committee on Rules; (3) not to exceed three of the amendments 
printed in part C of the report of the Committee on Rules if offered by 
Representative Flake of Arizona or his designee; (4) not to exceed one 
of the amendments printed in part D of the report of the Committee on 
Rules if offered by Representative Campbell of California or his 
designee; and (5) not to exceed one of the amendments printed in part E 
of the report of the Committee on Rules if offered by Representative 
Hensarling of Texas or his designee. Each such amendment shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, 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 and except 
that an amendment printed in part B, C, D, or E of the report of the 
Committee on Rules may be offered only at the appropriate point in the 
reading. 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. In case of sundry amendments 
reported from the Committee, the question of their adoption shall be 
put to the House en gros and without intervening demand for division of 
the question. 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 consideration of the bill for amendment, the chair 
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.  During consideration of H.R. 2996, the Chair may reduce to 
two minutes the minimum time for electronic voting under clause 6 of 
rule XVIII and clauses 8 and 9 of rule XX.
