H. Res. 319

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                     November 21, 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. 3) to amend the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to provide for 
a voluntary system of spending limits and benefits for congressional election 
campaigns, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the bill and the amendments 
made in order by this resolution and shall not exceed one hour equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
House Administration. 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 House 
Administration now printed in the bill, modified by the amendment printed in 
part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. The 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be 
considered as read. No amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute, as modified, shall be in order except the amendment printed in part 
2 of the report of the Committee on Rules, which may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, 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, and shall not be subject to amendment. At the conclusion of 
consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the 
bill to the House with such amendment 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute made in 
order as original text. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on 
the bill and any amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion 
except one motion to recommit, which may not include instructions. After passage 
of H.R. 3, it shall be in order to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 3 
and to consider the Senate bill in the House. It shall 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. 3 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 amendments to S. 3 and request a conference 
with the Senate thereon.
            Attest:
