      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2997) making

    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. 2997) making 
appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration, and Related Agencies programs 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

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

designee. Each such amendment may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, 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 through 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 the case of sundry amendments reported from the 
Committee, the question of their adoption shall be put to the House en 
gros and without 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. 2997, 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.
