                 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. 1670) to revise and streamline the acquisition laws of the Federal 
Government, to reorganize the mechanisms for resolving Federal procurement 
disputes, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. Points of order against consideration of the bill for failure to 
comply with section 302(f) or 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are 
waived. 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 Government Reform and Oversight. 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 Government Reform and Oversight. The committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered by title rather than by section. The 
first two sections and each title shall be considered as read. Points of order 
against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure to 
comply with clause 5(a) of rule XXI or section 302(f) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 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. 
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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
