 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1578) to amend the 
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to provide for 
 the expedited consideration of certain proposed rescissions of budget 
                               authority.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution

House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1578) to amend the 
Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 to establish 
procedures for the expedited consideration by the Congress of certain 
proposals by the President to rescind amounts of budget authority, and 
the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. After general 
debate which shall be confined to the bill and the amendments made in 
order by this resolution, and which shall not exceed two hours, one 
hour to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Rules, and one hour to be equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Government Operations, the bill shall be considered 
for amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to 
consider an amendment in the nature of a substitute by, and if offered 
by, Representative Spratt of South Carolina. The amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. It shall first be 
in order to consider the following amendments: (1) a substitute 
amendment offered by Representative Castle of Delaware or 
Representative Solomon of New York; and (2) an amendment thereto by 
Representative Michel of Illinois. Said amendments may only be offered 
by the named proponent or a designee, shall be considered as read, and 
all points of order against said amendments are hereby waived. If the 
substitute amendment of Representative Solomon is not agreed to, it 
shall then be in order to consider two additional amendments to the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute: (1) an amendment by 
Representative Michel of Illinois; and (2) a substitute amendment for 
the amendment in the nature of a substitute by Representative Minge of 
Minnesota. Said amendments may only be offered by the named proponent 
or a designee, shall only be offered in the order specified, shall be 
considered as read, and all points of order against said amendments are 
hereby waived. At the conclusion of the 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, and 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 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.
