  ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE COMMITTEE ON RULES REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO H.R. 
             2864, WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 2005

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Rules has announced that 
it may meet this week to grant a rule which could limit the amendment 
process for floor consideration of H.R. 2864, the Water Resources 
Development Act of 2005. The Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure ordered the bill reported on June 22, 2005 and filed its 
report with the House on June 24, 2005.
  Any Member wishing to offer an amendment should submit 55 copies of 
the amendment and one copy of a brief explanation of the amendment to 
the Committee on Rules in Room H-312 of the Capitol by 11 a.m. on 
Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Members should draft their amendments to the 
text of the bill as reported by the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure.
  Members are reminded that earlier in the year the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure set forth a specific process 
regarding the submission of projects for inclusion in the Water 
Resources Development Act. The Rules Committee does not intend to 
accord priority to amendments that have not gone through the 
aforementioned process.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that 
their amendments are drafted in the appropriate format. Members are 
also advised to check with the Office of the Parliamentarian to be 
certain their amendments comply with the rules of the House.
