“I do, Mr. Chairman. I make a point of order against the amendment because it is in violation of section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. The Committee on Appropriations filed a suballocation of budget totals for fiscal year 2007 on May 18. The adoption of this amendment would cause the subcommittee's suballocation for budget authority made under section 302(b) to be exceeded, and is not permitted under section 302(f) of the act. I ask for a ruling. The CHAIRMAN. Are there any Members wishing to speak on the point of order? If not, the Chair is prepared to rule. For the reasons stated in the Chair's ruling on the prior amendment by the gentleman from Texas, the point of order is sustained, and the amendment is not in order. The Clerk will read. The Clerk read as follows: federal protective service The revenues and collections of security fees credited to this account, not to exceed $516,011,000, shall be available until expended for necessary expenses related to the protection of federally-owned and leased buildings and for the operations of the Federal Protective Service. construction For necessary expenses to plan, construct, renovate, equip, and maintain buildings and facilities necessary for the administration and enforcement of the laws relating to customs and immigration, $26,281,000, to remain available until expended.…”
