 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 5005) to establish the 
        Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes.

    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. 5005) to establish the 
Department of Homeland Security, 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 90 minutes equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Select Committee on Homeland Security. After general debate the bill 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule.
    Sec. 2. (a) It shall be in order to consider as an original bill 
for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Select Committee on 
Homeland Security now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of 
order against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are 
waived.
    (b) No amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be in order except those printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution and amendments en bloc 
described in section 3 of this resolution.
    (c) Except as specified in section 4 of this resolution, each 
amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 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.
    (d) All points of order against amendments printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules or amendments en bloc described in section 3 of 
this resolution are waived.
    Sec. 3. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the 
Select Committee on Homeland Security or his designee to offer 
amendments en bloc consisting of amendments printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules not earlier disposed of or germane modifications 
of any such amendment. Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this 
section shall be considered as read (except that modifications shall be 
reported), shall be debatable for 20 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Select 
Committee on Homeland Security or their designees, 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. For the purpose 
of inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the 
form of a motion to strike may be modified to the form of a germane 
perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be stricken. 
The original proponent of an amendment included in such amendments en 
bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately 
before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
    Sec. 4. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may recognize 
for consideration of any amendment printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules out of the order printed, but not sooner than one 
hour after the chairman of the Select Committee on Homeland Security or 
his designee announces from the floor a request to that effect.
    Sec. 5. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House 
with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may demand a 
separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of 
the Whole to the bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute. 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.
