H. Res. 119

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        March 10, 1993.
    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 4) to amend the Public Health Service Act to revise and extend the 
programs of the National Institutes of Health, and for other purposes. The first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order against 
consideration of the bill for failure to comply with clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI 
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 
one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. After general debate the bill 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in 
order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the 
five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Energy and Commerce now printed in the bill. The committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. No 
amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in 
order except those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
this resolution. Each amendment may be offered only in the order printed and by 
the named proponent or a designee, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided and controlled by 
the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment except as 
specified in the report, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of 
the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. At the conclusion of 
consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the 
bill to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member may 
demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of 
the Whole to the bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and 
amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions. After passage of H.R. 4, it shall be 
in order to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 1 and to consider the 
Senate bill in the House. It shall then be in order to move to strike all after 
the enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu thereof the 
provisions of H.R. 4 as passed by the House. If the motion is adopted and the 
Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be in order to move that the 
House insist on its amendment to S. 1 and request a conference with the Senate 
thereon.
            Attest:
