                               RESOLUTION


 
Amending clause 4 of rule XIII of the Rules of the House to abolish the 
 Consent Calendar and to establish in its place a Corrections Calendar.
    Resolved, That clause 4 of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives is amended to read as follows:
    ``4. (a) After a bill has been favorably reported and placed on 
either the Union or House Calendar, the Speaker may file with the Clerk 
a notice requesting that such bill also be placed upon a special 
calendar to be known as the ``Corrections Calendar''. On the second and 
fourth Tuesdays of each month, immediately after the reading of the 
Journal, the Speaker may direct the Clerk to call the bills in 
numerical order which have been on the Corrections Calendar for three 
legislative days.
    ``(b) Bills so called shall be considered in the House, debatable 
for one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the primary committee of jurisdiction reporting the 
bill, shall not be subject to amendment except those amendments 
recommended by the primary committee of jurisdiction or those offered 
by the chairman of the primary committee, and the previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the bill and any amendment thereto to 
final passage without intervening motion.
    ``(c) A three-fifths vote of the members voting shall be required 
to pass any bill called from the Corrections Calendar but the rejection 
of any such bill, or the sustaining of any point of order against it or 
its consideration, shall not cause it to be removed from the Calendar 
to which it was originally referred.''.
