  Mr. HOBSON. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that it be in order 
at any time for the Speaker, as though pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule 
XVIII, to declare the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole 
House on the State of the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R.

and base realignment and closure for the Department of Defense for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, and for other purposes, and that 
consideration of the bill proceed according to the following order.
  The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with.
  All points of order against the bill and against its consideration 
are waived.
  General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 1 
hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.
  After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under

  During consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the
