H. Res. 320

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         June 23, 2011.
    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. 2219) making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2012, 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. 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. During consideration of the bill for amendment, the chair of the 
Committee of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis of 
whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the 
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of 
rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. When the 
committee rises and reports the bill back to the House with a recommendation 
that the bill do pass, 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. (a)(1) During the 112th Congress, it shall not be in order to 
consider an amendment to a general appropriation bill proposing both a decrease 
in an appropriation designated pursuant to section 301 of House Concurrent 
Resolution 34 and an increase in an appropriation not so designated, or vice 
versa.
    (2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an amendment between the Houses.
    (b) With respect to H.R. 2219, subsection (a) shall apply only in the 
Committee of the Whole.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
