[H. Res. 201 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 27, 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. 2099) making appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs 
and Housing and Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies, boards, 
commissions, corporations, and offices 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 part 1 of 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 thirty 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. All points of order against amendments printed in part 2 of the 
report of the Committee on Rules 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.
