Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1561) to consolidate 
    the foreign affairs agencies of the United States; to authorize 
  appropriations for the Department of State and related agencies for 
fiscal years 1996 and 1997; to responsibly reduce the authorizations of 
appropriations for United States foreign assistance programs for fiscal 
              years 1996 and 1997, and for other purposes.
    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. 1561) to consolidate the 
foreign affairs agencies of the United States; to authorize 
appropriations for the Department of State and related agencies for 
fiscal years 1996 and 1997; to responsibly reduce the authorizations of 
appropriations for United States foreign assistance programs for fiscal 
years 1996 and 1997, and for other purposes. The first reading of the 
bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order against consideration of 
the bill for failure to comply with clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI or 
section 302(f), 303(a), 308(a), or 402(a) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974 are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill 
and shall not exceed two hours equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on International 
Relations. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule for an initial period of ten 
hours. After such initial period, amendments shall be debatable only as 
provided in clause 6 of rule XXIII or in section 2 of this resolution. 
Consideration for amendment may not continue beyond 2:30 p.m. on 
Thursday, May 25, 1995. It shall be in order to consider as an original 
bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on 
International Relations now printed in the bill modified by deleting 
section 2210. The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute as 
modified shall be considered as read. Points of order against the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute as modified for 
failure to comply with clause 5(a) of rule XXI or section 302(f), 
303(a), or 402(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. 
Other than pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate and 
amendments en bloc described in section 2 of this resolution, no 
amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute as 
modified shall be in order unless printed in the portion of the 
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule 
XXIII. 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 adopted. Any Member may demand a separate 
vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the 
Whole to the bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute as modified. 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 at any time for the chairman of the 
Committee on International Relations or a designee to offer amendments 
en bloc consisting of amendments printed in the portion of the 
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule 
XXIII 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 not be subject to 
amendment or to a division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole and shall be debatable for ten minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on International Relations or their designees. 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. 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.
