“there is plenty of money in this section of the bill. I think we have put all the money we can into that section, and it is ample. Mr. Chairman, the amendment proposes to amend portions of the bill not yet read. The amendment proposes to increase the level of outlays in the bill, and I ask for a ruling from the Chair. The CHAIRMAN. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of order raised by the gentleman from Kentucky? If not, to be considered en bloc, pursuant to clause 2(f) of rule XXI, an amendment must not propose to increase the levels of budget authority or outlays in the bill. Because the amendment offered by the gentleman from Indiana proposes a net increase in the level of outlays in the bill, as argued by the chairman of subcommittee on appropriations, it may not avail itself of clause 2(f) to address portions of the bill not yet read. The point of order that the amendment proposes to address portions of the bill not yet read is sustained. {time} 1245 Amendment No. 9 Offered by Mr. Souder”
