[H. Res. 171 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 11, 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 bill (H.R. 1905) making appropriations for energy and water 
development for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, and for other 
purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate 
shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Appropriations. After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule. The bill shall be considered by title rather than by 
paragraph. Each title shall be considered as read. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are 
waived except as follows: beginning with ``: Provided further'' on page 6, line 
6, through ``such transfer'' on line 13. Where points of order are waived 
against part of a paragraph, points of order against a provision in another part 
of such paragraph may be made only against such provision and not against the 
entire paragraph. Before consideration of any other amendment it shall be in 
order to consider the amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution if offered by Representative Shuster of 
Pennsylvania or his designee. That amendment shall be considered as read, shall 
be debatable for ten minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and 
an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a 
demand for division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
Whole. All points of order against that amendment are waived. After disposition 
of that amendment, the provisions of the bill as then perfected shall be 
considered as original text. During further consideration of the bill for 
amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in 
recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an amendment has caused 
it to be printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as 
read. 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. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
