[H. Res. 197 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 24, 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. 70) to permit exports of certain domestically produced crude oil, 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 Resources. After general debate the bill shall be considered 
for amendment under the five-minute rule. 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 
Resources now printed in the bill. Each section of the committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. During 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. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may 
postpone until a time during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole 
a request for a recorded vote on any amendment. The chairman of the Committee of 
the Whole may reduce to not less than five minutes the time for voting by 
electronic device on any postponed question that immediately follows another 
vote by electronic device without intervening business, provided that the time 
for voting by electronic device on the first in any series of questions shall be 
not less than fifteen minutes. 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. 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. (a) After passage of H.R. 70, it shall be in order to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill S. 395 and to consider the Senate bill in the House. 
All points of order against the Senate bill and against its consideration are 
waived. It shall be in order to consider in the House, any rule of the House to 
the contrary notwithstanding, the motion to amend described in subsection (b). 
The motion to amend shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the motion to 
amend and on the Senate bill without intervening motion except one motion to 
recommit the bill with or without instructions. If the motion to amend is 
adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be in order to 
move that the House insist on its amendments to S. 395 and request a conference 
with the Senate thereon.
    (b) The motion to amend the Senate bill made in order by subsection (a) is 
as follows:
            ``(1) Strike title I.
            ``(2) Strike sections 201 through 204 and insert the text of H.R. 
        70, as passed by the House.
            ``(3) Strike section 205.
            ``(4) Strike section 206.
            ``(5) Strike title III.''.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
