Story highlights Paul Ryan says House Republicans will roll out a five point agenda that will be released around the time the GOP coalesces around a presidential nominee

Baltimore (CNN) House Speaker Paul Ryan said Friday that House Republicans will roll out a five point agenda that will be released around the time the GOP coalesces around a presidential nominee.

"This is nothing short of a generational defining moment we are in. The country is crying out for solutions. The country is crying out to be unified. The country is crying out for a positive vision that brings us all together," Ryan said after a two day retreat with members that wrapped up on Friday.

The House GOP agenda will include proposals on national security, jobs and economic growth, health care, poverty and opportunity, and restoring the Constitution, he said. As part of his emphasis on restoring "regular order," the speaker said these would be developed at the committee level, with input from all members and their constituents.

"With everything that's at stake in 2016 we've been talking about how do we go on offense on ideas and how do we make sure that we offer the country a very clear and very compelling choice. They deserve that," Ryan said.

GOP leaders conducted sessions, some with their Senate counterparts, to develop policy proposals, but did not commit to introducing legislation or holding floor votes on these areas.
