                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 3266) to provide for 
automatic downward adjustments in the discretionary spending limits for 
  fiscal year 1994 set forth in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
       equal to the amount of rescissions contained in this Act.

    Resolved, That immediately following the approval of the Journal on 
any of the next five legislative days of House session, it shall be in 
order as a matter of the highest privilege for Representative Andrews 
of New Jersey, or a designee, to move that the House resolve itself 
into the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union for the 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 3266) to provide for automatic downward 
adjustments in the discretionary spending limits for fiscal year 1994 
set forth in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 equal to the amount 
of rescissions contained in this Act, the first reading of the bill 
shall be dispensed with, and all points of order against the bill and 
its consideration are waived. After general debate, which shall be 
confined to the bill and which shall not exceed one hour, to be equally 
divided and controlled by Representative Andrews of New Jersey and a 
Member opposed thereto, the bill shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule, and each section shall be considered as 
having been read. The amendment printed in section 3 of this resolution 
shall be considered as having been adopted in the House and in the 
Committee of the Whole. No amendment to the bill shall be in order 
unless printed in the Congressional Record at least one day prior to 
its consideration. It shall be in order to consider any such amendment 
to the bill that would have the effect of reducing budget authority or 
outlays and all points of order against any such amendment are hereby 
waived, except that any amendment to the bill that does not have the 
effect of reducing budget authority or outlays or in which such 
reduction is merely an incidental provision shall not be in order. No 
amendment to an amendment shall be in order unless germane to the 
amendment to which it is offered. 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. 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. Once the bill is taken up, it shall 
remain the unfinished business as a matter of the highest privilege on 
each succeeding day immediately after the approval of the Journal until 
finally disposed of.
    Sec. 2. For the purpose of amendments made in order by this 
resolution, the levels of budget authority and outlays for a fiscal 
year shall be determined on the basis of estimates made by the 
Committee on the Budget.
    Sec. 3. The amendment considered as adopted in the House and in the 
Committee of the Whole is as follows:
            After section 101, insert the following new section:

``SEC. 102. PAYGO SCORECARD.

    ``Reductions in outlays in a fiscal year resulting from any 
provision in this Act shall not be taken into account for any purpose 
under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control 
Act of 1985.''.

                                 <all>
