H. Res. 474

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         July 14, 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. 3937) entitled the ``Export Administration Act of 1994''. 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 ninety minutes, with fifteen minutes equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, 
fifteen minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Armed Services, fifteen minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on the Judiciary, fifteen minutes equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Public Works and 
Transportation, fifteen minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means, and fifteen 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. After general debate 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu 
of the committee amendments now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to 
consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute 
rule an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 
4663. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title 
rather than by section, and each title shall be considered as read. All points 
of order against that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No 
amendment directly or indirectly changing section 111(c)(2)(B)(iii), 
111(d)(4)(F), 111(e)(3), or 226(b)(8) of the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute made in order as original text shall be in order. No amendment 
affecting the subject of timber shall be in order. It shall be in order to 
consider the amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution only in the order printed. Each amendment printed 
in the report 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, 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 the amendments printed in the report are waived. If more than one of the 
amendments printed in the report is adopted, only the last to be adopted shall 
be considered as finally adopted and reported to the House. Except as provided 
in section 2 of this resolution, no other amendment (other than a further 
amendment in the nature of a substitute) may directly or indirectly change a 
portion of the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original 
text addressed by an amendment printed in the report. Except as provided in 
section 3, no other amendment to the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text shall be in order unless printed in the portion 
of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule 
XXIII before the commencement of consideration of the bill. 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 finally adopted. Any 
Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment finally 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 amendments thereto to final passage 
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
    Sec. 2. It shall be in order immediately after the disposition of the 
amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution to consider additional amendments directly or indirectly changing a 
portion of the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original 
text addressed by an amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules, 
if offered by a Member designated jointly by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Armed Services. All points of order against such 
additional amendments are waived.
    Sec. 3. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the Committee 
on Foreign Affairs or a designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of 
amendments otherwise in order to the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text 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 Foreign Affairs, 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 the 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.
