[H. Res. 208 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        August 2, 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. 2127) making appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and 
Human Services, and Education, and related agencies, 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 two and one-half hours 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 
first amendment printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution shall be considered as pending. The reading of the 
bill for further amendment shall not proceed until after disposition of the 
amendments printed in part 1 of the report. Each amendment printed in part 1 of 
the report may be considered only in the order printed, may be offered only by a 
Member designated in the report, 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. After 
disposition of the amendments printed in part 1 of the report, 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 considered as 
the original bill for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are 
waived. Consideration of each of the first three titles of the bill shall begin 
with an additional period of general debate, which shall be confined to the 
pending title and shall not exceed 90 minutes equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. It 
shall be in order at any time during the reading of the bill for amendment to 
consider the amendments printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on 
Rules. Each amendment printed in part 2 of the report may be offered only by a 
Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable 
for the time specified in the report equally divided and controlled by the 
proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment except as specified 
in the report, 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 
amendments printed in 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.
