Defense mega bill hits House floor

By my reckoning (the FY07 continuing res H J Res 20 aside), the first really big bill to come to the House floor arrives today: HR 1585, the defense authorization bill.
Right now, according to the floor summary, they're adjourning after dealing with (but not voting on) the rule (H Res 403) on HR 1585.
The text of the rule is here.
It's a structured rule (or modified closed rule, if you prefer) which limits the floor amendments which may offered to those printed in the Rules report.
