I raise a point of order against the following provision of H.R. 5485 for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI: Beginning with ``: Provided further'' on page 122, line 19, through ``2012'' on page 122, line 22. This provision proposes to change existing law by imparting direction to the United States Postal Service and, therefore, constitutes legislation on an appropriation bill in violation of clause 2 of rule XXI. I ask for a ruling from the Chair. The Acting CHAIR. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order?
