Tom Latham said "I object. The CHAIR. Objection is heard. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of order? If not, the Chair is prepared to rule. To be considered en bloc pursuant to clause 2(f) of rule XXI, an amendment must propose only to transfer appropriations among objects in the bill. Because the amendment offered by the gentleman from Michigan proposes also another kind of change in the bill, namely, increasing a limitation on obligations from the Highway Trust Fund, it may not avail itself of clause 2(f) to address portions of the bill not yet read. Therefore, the amendment is not in order and the point of order is sustained." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
