[H. Res. 218 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                    September 13, 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. 1162) to establish a Deficit Reduction Trust Fund and provide for the 
downward adjustment of discretionary spending limits in appropriation bills. 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 
Rules. 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 Rules. The committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with 
clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. 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. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
