                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for the consideration of the Anti-Hypocrisy Deficit Reduction 
                        Act of 1994 (H.R. 4623).

    Resolved, That immediately following the approval of the Journal on 
any part of the next five legislative days of House session, it shall 
be in order as a matter of highest privilege for Representative Obey of 
Wisconsin, 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 Anti-Hypocrisy Deficit Reduction Act of 1994 (H.R. 
4623), and the first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 the amendments made in order by this resolution, and which 
shall not exceed two hours, one hour to be controlled by Representative 
Obey of Wisconsin, and one hour to be controlled by an opponent of the 
bill, the bill shall be considered as having been read for amendment 
under the five-minute rule. No amendment to the bill shall be in order 
except amendments which--
            (1) are printed in the Congressional Record at least five 
        days prior to their consideration;
            (2) would have the effect, either directly or indirectly, 
        of reducing budget authority or outlays for projects for which 
        appropriations have been made or for which authorizations have 
        been enacted, provided such reductions are not merely 
        incidental to the amendment; and
            (3) would strike a federally funded project in the district 
        represented by the author of the amendment.
No amendment to an amendment shall be in order unless germane to the 
amendment to which it is offered and would comply with clauses (2) and 
(3) of the sentence immediately preceding the preceding sentence. 
Debate on any amendment to the bill, and all amendments thereto, shall 
not exceed sixty minutes. Debate time on amendments to the bill for 
amendment under the five-minute rule shall not exceed fifty-six hours, 
and it shall not be in order to consider any motion which has the 
effect of limiting the total debate time on amendments to less than 
fifty-six hours. After the expiration of the fifty-six hours for debate 
on amendments, no further amendments shall be in order. If on any day 
the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has come to no 
resolution on the bill, then on the next legislative day the House 
shall, immediately after the approval of the Journal, resolve into the 
Committee of the Whole for further consideration of the bill. 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 any amendment thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion.
    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.
