H. Res. 783

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        April 27, 2006.
    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 4975) to provide greater transparency with respect to lobbying 
activities, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill are 
waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one 
hour equally divided and controlled by the Majority Leader and the Minority 
Leader or their designees. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendments recommended by 
the Committees on the Judiciary, Rules, and Government Reform now printed in the 
bill, the amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of the 
Rules Committee Print dated April 21, 2006, modified by the amendment printed in 
part A of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, 
shall be considered as adopted in the House and the Committee of the Whole. The 
bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original bill for the purpose of 
further amendment and shall be considered as read. Notwithstanding clause 11 of 
rule XVIII, no further amendment to the bill, as amended, shall be in order 
except those printed in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each 
further amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the report, may be 
offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, 
shall be debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, 
and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House 
or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order against such further 
amendments are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to the House 
with such further amendments as may have been adopted. The previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
    Sec. 2. In the engrossment of H.R. 4975, the Clerk shall--
            (1) add the text of H.R. 513, as passed by the House, as new matter 
        at the end of H.R. 4975;
            (2) conform the title of H.R. 4975 to reflect the addition of the 
        text of H.R. 513 to the engrossment;
            (3) assign appropriate designations to provisions within the 
        engrossment; and
            (4) conform provisions for short titles within the engrossment.
    Sec. 3. After passage of H.R. 4975, it shall be in order to take from the 
Speaker's table S. 2349 and to consider the Senate bill in the House. All points 
of order against consideration of the Senate bill are waived. It shall be in 
order to move to strike all after the enacting clause of the Senate bill and to 
insert in lieu thereof the provisions of H.R. 4975 (as engrossed pursuant to 
section 2 of this resolution). All points of order against that motion are 
waived. If the motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, 
then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on its amendment to the 
Senate bill and request a conference with the Senate thereon.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
