this rule may include a provision limiting amendments to those 
specified in the rule.
  Any Member who desires to offer an amendment should submit 55 copies

to the Rules Committee, at room H-312 in the Capitol.
  Members who filed amendments last December to H.R. 1710, the 
Comprehensive Antiterrorism Act, do not have to file those same 
amendments again. Those amendments were already drafted to the text of 
H.R. 2703. Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to 
ensure that their amendments are properly drafted and should check with 
the Office of the Parliamentarian to be certain their amendments comply 
with the rules of the House.
