                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        March 28, 1995.
    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 
joint resolution (H.J. Res. 73) proposing an amendment to the Constitution of 
the United States with respect to the number of terms of office of Members of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives. The first reading of the joint 
resolution shall be dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the 
joint resolution and shall not exceed three hours equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. 
After general debate the joint resolution shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule. The joint resolution shall be considered as read. No 
amendment shall be in order except those specified in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment may be offered 
only in the order specified in the report, may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, may be considered notwithstanding the adoption of a 
previous amendment in the nature of a substitute, shall be considered as read, 
shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
and an opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. If more than one 
amendment is adopted, then only the one receiving the greater number of 
affirmative votes shall be considered as finally adopted. In the case of a tie 
for the greater number of affirmative votes, then only the last amendment to 
receive that number of affirmative votes shall be considered as finally adopted. 
At the conclusion of consideration of the joint resolution for amendment the 
Committee shall rise and report the joint resolution to the House with such 
amendment as may have been finally adopted. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the joint resolution and any amendment thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
