The Chair is ready to rule. The gentleman from Louisiana has raised a point of order against the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio on the ground that it is legislation on an appropriation bill in violation of the rules. The Chair has examined the amendment. and finds that it would prohibit use of funds appropriated or made available pursuant to this act. in any nation which requires payment above nominal and customary costs for exit visas. exit permits. or for the right to emigrate. It is apparent to the Chair that someone must make a determination of the "nominal" and "customary" cost. thus imposing additional duties on the executive branch. and therefore in the opinion of the Chair the language constitutes legislation on an appropriation bill. The Chair sustains the point of order.
