The amendment may not be considered en bloc under clause 2(f) of rule XXI because the amendment does not propose to transfer funds among objects in the bill, as required by clause 2(f). I ask for a ruling of the Chair. The CHAIR. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of order? The gentleman from Michigan is recognized on the point of order.
