[H. Res. 222 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                    September 19, 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. 1617) to consolidate and reform workforce development and literacy 
programs, 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 Economic and Educational Opportunities. 
After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule. In lieu of the amendment recommended by the Committee on Economic 
and Educational Opportunities now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to 
consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute 
rule an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 
2332. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title 
rather than by section. The first six sections and each title shall be 
considered as read. Points of order against that amendment in the nature of a 
substitute for failure to comply with clause 5(a) of rule XXI or section 302(f) 
or 401(b) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. Before 
consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order to consider the 
amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution, if offered by Representative Goodling or his designee. That 
amendment shall be considered as read, may amend the portions of the bill not 
yet read for amendment, 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. All points of order against that amendment are 
waived. After disposition of that amendment, the provisions of the bill as then 
perfected shall be considered as original text. 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. 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. 
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.
