                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                      October 29, 2009.
    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. 3854) to amend the Small Business Act and the Small Business 
Investment Act of 1958 to improve programs providing access to capital under 
such Acts, 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 Small 
Business. After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under 
the five-minute rule. The amendment printed in part A of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted 
in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The bill, as amended, shall be 
considered as the original bill for the purpose of further amendment under the 
five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. Notwithstanding clause 11 of 
rule XVIII, no further amendment to the bill, as amended, shall be in order 
except the amendments printed in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. 
Each such amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the report, 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. 
All points of order against such amendments are waived except those arising 
under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill 
for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to the 
House with such further amendments as may have been adopted. In the case of 
sundry further 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.  The Chair may entertain a motion that the Committee rise only if 
offered by the chair of the Committee on Small Business or her 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. 3.  It shall be in order at any time through the legislative day of 
October 30, 2009, for the Speaker to entertain motions that the House suspend 
the rules relating to a measure addressing unemployment compensation.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
