[H. Res. 188 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 18, 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. 1976) making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food 
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies programs 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, and the 
amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution shall be considered as pending. That amendment shall be considered as 
read, shall be debatable for ten minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations, 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. If that amendment 
is adopted, the provisions of the bill, as amended, shall be considered as the 
original bill for the purpose of further amendment under the five-minute rule. 
Further consideration of the bill for amendment shall proceed 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. 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.
