  AMENDMENT PROCESS FOR CONSIDERATION OF CONCURRENT RESOLUTION ON THE 
                      BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2007

  Mrs. CAPITO. Mr. Speaker, the Committee on Rules may meet the week of 
April 3 to grant a rule which could limit the amendment process for 
floor consideration of the concurrent resolution on the budget for the 
fiscal year 2007. The Committee on the Budget ordered the concurrent 
resolution reported late last night.
  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 Rules Committee in Room H-312 of the Capitol by 2 p.m. on Tuesday, 
April 4, 2006. Members are advised that the text of the concurrent 
resolution should be made available on the Budget and the Rules 
Committees Web sites no later than March 31, Friday. As in past years, 
the Rules Committee intends to give priority to amendments offered as 
complete substitutes.
  Members should use the Office of Legislative Counsel to ensure that 
their amendments are drafted in the most appropriate format and should 
check with the Office of the Parliamentarian to be certain their 
amendments comply with the rules of the House.
