H. Res. 853

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                      October 22, 2009.
    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. 3619) to authorize appropriations for the Coast Guard for fiscal year 
2010, 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 except 
those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. General debate shall be confined 
to the bill and shall not exceed one hour, with 40 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure and 20 minutes equally divided and controlled 
by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on Homeland Security. 
After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule. The amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure now printed in the bill shall be 
considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The bill, 
as amended, shall be considered as the original bill for the purpose of further 
amendment under the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. All points 
of order against provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. Notwithstanding 
clause 11 of rule XVIII, no further amendment to the bill, as amended, shall be 
in order except those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. Each such 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. All points of order against such amendments are waived 
except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. 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. In the case of sundry amendments reported from the Committee, the 
question of their adoption shall be put to the House en gros and without 
division of the question. 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.  The Chair may entertain a motion that the Committee rise only if 
offered by the chair of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure or 
his designee. The Chair may not entertain a motion to strike out the enacting 
words of the bill (as described in clause 9 of rule XVIII).
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
