                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 140) to end the 
   practice of imposing unfunded Federal mandates on State and local 
 governments and to ensure that the Federal Government pays the costs 
 incurred by those governments in complying with certain requirements 
                under Federal statutes and regulations.

    Resolved, That, immediately upon the adoption of this resolution, 
the House shall be resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on 
the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 140), to 
end the practice of imposing unfunded Federal mandates on State and 
local governments and to ensure that the Federal Government pays the 
costs incurred by those governments in complying with certain 
requirements under Federal statutes and regulations, and the first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. After general debate, 
which shall be confined to the bill and which shall not exceed one 
hour, to be equally divided and controlled by Representative Condit of 
California and a Member opposed thereto, 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 an amendment by and if 
offered by Representative Condit of California or his designee, an 
amendment by and if offered by Representative Clinger of Pennsylvania 
or his designee, and an amendment in the nature of a subsitute by and 
if offered by Representative Conyers of Michigan. Each such amendment 
shall be debatable for not to exceed one hour and be equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and a Member opposed thereto, and all 
points of order against the amendments are waived. No amendment to any 
such amendment shall be in order, and no such amendment shall be 
subject to a demand for a division of the question in the House or in 
the Committee of the Whole. If on any day the Committee of the Whole 
rises and reports that it has come to no resolution of the bill, then 
on the next legislative day the House shall, immediately after 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 and any Member 
may demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the 
Committee of the Whole to the bill. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the bill and amendment thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit.
