                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for the consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 40) to amend 
  the Rules of the House of Representatives concerning the receipt of 
    gifts from lobbyists and other persons, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the 
House shall resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on the 
state of the Union for the consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 40) 
to amend the Rules of the House of Representatives concerning the 
receipt of gifts from lobbyists and other persons, and for other 
purposes. The first reading of the resolution shall be dispensed with, 
and all points of order against the resolution and against its 
consideration are waived. After general debate, which shall be confined 
to the resolution and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the majority leader and the minority leader, or their 
designees, the resolution shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. No amendment shall be 
in order except--
            (1) an amendment in the nature of a substitute, if offered 
        by the majority leader or his designee; and, after disposition 
        of said amendment; and
            (2) an amendment in the nature of a substitute, if offered 
        by the minority leader or his designee.
If more than one of the amendments in the nature of a substitute is 
adopted, only the last to be adopted shall be considered as finally 
adopted and reported to the House. The amendments are debatable for one 
hour each, equally divided and controlled by the proponent and opponent 
thereto, are not subject to amendment, and are not subject to a demand 
for a division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
Whole, and are in order even if amending text previously amended. At 
the conclusion of the consideration of the resolution for amendment, 
the Committee shall rise and report the resolution to the House with 
such amendment as may have been adopted, and the previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the resolution and any amendment 
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion 
to recommit, with or without instructions.
