Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of 
the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 34) establishing the 
budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2012 
and setting forth appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 
2013 through 2021. The first reading of the concurrent reso-
lution shall be dispensed with. All points of order against con-

the Budget and one hour on the subject of economic goals 
and policies equally divided and controlled by Representative 
Brady of Texas and Representative Hinchey of New York or 
their respective designees. After general debate the concur-
rent resolution shall be considered for amendment under the
•HRES 223 EH 
five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider as an origi-
nal concurrent resolution for the purpose of amendment 
under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of 
a substitute printed in part A of the report of the Committee 
on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All 
points of order against that amendment in the nature of a 
substitute are waived. No amendment to that amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those print-
ed in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each

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, and shall not be subject to 
amendment. All points of order against the amendments 
printed in part B of the report are waived except that the 
adoption of an amendment in the nature of a substitute shall 
constitute the conclusion of consideration of amendments to 
the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order 
as original text. After the conclusion of consideration of the 
concurrent resolution for amendment and a final period of 
general debate, which shall not exceed 20 minutes equally di-
vided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority mem-
ber of the Committee on the Budget, the Committee shall rise
•HRES 223 EH 
and report the concurrent resolution to the House with such 
amendment as may have been adopted. Any Member may de-
mand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopt-
ed in the Committee of the Whole to the concurrent resolu-
tion or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made 
in order as original text. The previous question shall be con-
sidered as ordered on the concurrent resolution and amend-
ments thereto to final adoption without intervening motion 
except amendments offered by the chairman of the Com-
mittee on the Budget pursuant to section 305(a)(5) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to achieve mathematical 
consistency. The concurrent resolution shall not be subject to 
a demand for division of the question of its adoption.
