    Resolved, That at any time after 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. 6147) making appropriations for the Department of the Interior, 
environment, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, 
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. An amendment in the nature of a substitute 
consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 115-81 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. Points of order 
against provisions in the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 
or clause 5(a) of rule XXI are waived except as follows: beginning with the 
colon on page 251, line 5, through ``2012'' on page 251, line 8. Where points of 
order are waived against part of a paragraph, points of order against a 
provision in another part of such paragraph may be made only against such 
provision and not against the entire paragraph. No further amendment to the 
bill, as amended, shall be in order except those printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution and pro forma amendments 
described in section 2 of this resolution. Each further amendment printed in the 
report of the Committee on Rules shall be considered 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, may be 
withdrawn by the proponent at any time before action thereon, shall not be 
subject to amendment except as provided by section 2 of this resolution, 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 further amendments 
are waived. 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. 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.  During consideration of H.R. 6147 for amendment, the chair and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or their respective 
designees may offer up to 10 pro forma amendments each at any point for the 
purpose of debate.
