  The CHAIRMAN. The Chair would advise Members that this series of 
votes will now include a seventh question, the amendment by the 
gentleman from Minnesota, Mr. Gutknecht.
  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Chairman, I move that the Committee do now rise.
  The motion was agreed to.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr. 
Green of Wisconsin) having assumed the chair, Mr. Ryan of Wisconsin, 
Chairman of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, 
reported that that Committee, having had under consideration the bill 
(H.R. 5384) making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, 
Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2007, and for other purposes, had come to no 
resolution thereon.
