expressing the sense of the House of Representatives on the 
fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks launched against the 
United States on September 11, 2001, under a closed rule. The

and controlled by the Majority Leader and Minority Leader or

    The Rules Committee is not aware of any points of order 
against consideration of the resolution. The waiver of all 
points of order against consideration of the resolution is 
prophylactic in nature.
