      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3081) making 
  appropriations for the Department of State, foreign operations, and 
related programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and for

    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. 3081) making 
appropriations for the Department of State, foreign operations, and 
related 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 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; and (2) the amendments printed in part B of the report 
of the Committee on Rules. 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 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. 3081, 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.
