                               RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 3087), proposing to 
amend the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 to establish time limitations on 
  certain civil actions against aircraft manufacturers, and for other 
                               purposes.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the 
House shall resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on the 
state of the Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 3087) 
proposing to establish time limitations on certain civil actions 
against aircraft manufacturers, and for other purposes, the first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with, and all points of order 
against the bill and against its consideration are hereby waived. After 
general debate, which shall be confined to the bill and which shall not 
exceed three hours, one hour of which shall be equally divided and 
controlled by Representative Brooks of Texas and Representative Fish of 
New York; one hour of which shall be equally divided and controlled by 
Representative Mineta of California and Representative Shuster of 
Pennsylvania; and one hour of which shall be equally divided and 
controlled by Representative Glickman of Kansas and Representative 
Hansen of Utah, the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. No amendment to the bill shall be in order in the 
House or the Committee of the Whole except for the following 
amendments, which are not subject to amendment and shall be considered 
only in the following order--
            (a) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
        Representative Brooks of Texas;
            (b) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
        Representative Mineta of California;
            (c) an amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
        Representative Glickman of Kansas.
    Each amendment may be offered only by the named proponent or their 
designee, shall be in order notwithstanding the adoption of a previous 
amendment in the nature of a substitute, shall be considered read only 
if printed in the Congressional Record at least three legislative days 
prior to its consideration, shall be debatable for time not to exceed 
one hour to be equally divided and controlled by the proponent and a 
member opposed thereto, and shall not be subject to an amendment in the 
House or in the Committee of the Whole. If more than one amendment in 
the nature of a substitute is adopted, only the last to be adopted 
shall be considered as finally adopted and reported to the House. At 
the conclusion of the consideration of the bill for amendment, the 
Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such 
amendment as may have been finally adopted. The previous question shall 
be considered to be ordered on the bill and such amendment thereto to 
final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit, 
with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2. If on any day the Committee rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the bill, the House shall, on the next 
legislative day immediately following House approval of the Journal, 
resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole on the state of the 
Union for the further consideration of the bill.
    Sec. 3. If a comparable bill has been passed by the Senate, it 
shall be in order any time after House consideration of H.R. 3087 for 
Representative Glickman or his designee to move for immediate 
consideration of such Senate bill and to move for concurrence in the 
passage of such Senate bill, and one motion to recommit, with or 
without amendment but, if with an amendment, then such amendment shall 
strike all after the enacting clause and substitute therefore the text 
of H.R. 3087 as passed by the House.
    Sec. 4. Consideration, in accordance with the provisions of this 
resolution, of the bill and any comparable bill passed by the Senate 
shall be a matter of highest privilege in the House and shall take 
precedence over any other motion, business, or order of the House, and 
the House shall proceed with such consideration to final passage, 
without the intervention of any other motion, order, or business except 
a motion to adjourn, or as otherwise provided for in this resolution.
