 Providing for consideration of a joint resolution and a bill relating 
  to most-favored-nation treatment for the People's Republic of China.

    Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in 
order to consider in the House the joint resolution (H. J. Res. 373) 
disapproving the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment (most-
favored-nation treatment) to the products of the People's Republic of 
China, and for other purposes. All points of order against the joint 
resolution and against its consideration are waived. The joint 
resolution shall be debatable for eighty minutes equally divided and 
controlled by Representative Solomon of New York and Representative 
Gibbons of Florida or their designees. Pursuant to sections 152 and 153 
of the Trade Act of 1974, the previous question shall be considered as 
ordered on the joint resolution to final passage without intervening 
motion. The provisions of sections 152 and 153 of the Trade Act of 1974 
shall not apply to any other joint resolution disapproving the 
extension of most-favored-nation treatment to the People's Republic of 
China for the remainder of the One Hundred Third Congress.
    Sec. 2. After disposition of the joint resolution (H. J. Res. 373), 
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. 4590) to provide 
conditions for renewing nondiscriminatory (most-favored-nation) 
treatment for the People's Republic of China. The first reading of the 
bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against the bill and 
against its consideration are waived. 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 Ways and 
Means. After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. No 
amendment shall be in order except those printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment 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, and 
shall not be subject to amendment. 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. At the conclusion of 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 as ordered on the bill and any amendment thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
or without instructions.
