H. Res. 440

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                          May 25, 1994.
    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. 4385) to amend title 23, United States Code, to designate the 
National Highway System, 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 Public Works and Transportation. 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 Public Works and Transportation now printed in the bill. The 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. 
All points of order against the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute are waived. Except as otherwise provided in this resolution, 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 printed in the report may be offered only in the 
order printed, 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, 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. All points of order against amendments printed in the report are waived. 
It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the Committee on Public 
Works and Transportation or a designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of 
amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution or germane modifications of any such amendment. Amendments en bloc 
offered pursuant to this section shall be considered as read (except that 
modifications shall be reported), shall be debatable for ten minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Public Works and Transportation, shall not be subject to amendment, 
and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House 
or in the Committee of Whole. For the purpose of inclusion in such amendments en 
bloc, an amendment printed in the form of a motion to strike may be modified to 
the form of a germane perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be 
stricken. All points of order against such amendments en bloc are waived. The 
original proponent of an amendment included in such amendments en bloc may 
insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately before the 
disposition of the amendments en bloc. 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.
