[H. Res. 225 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                    September 20, 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. 927) to seek international sanctions against the Castro government in 
Cuba, to plan for support of a transition government leading to a democratically 
elected government in Cuba, 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 clause 2(l)(2)(B) of rule XI are waived. 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 International Relations. 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 International Relations 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. 2347. That amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against that amendment 
in the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI 
are waived. Before consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order to 
consider a further amendment in the nature of a substitute by Representative 
Hamilton of Indiana or his designee. Such a further amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally 
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be 
subject to amendment. If such a further amendment in the nature of a substitute 
is rejected or not offered, then no further amendment shall be in order except 
those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution. Each further amendment may be considered only in the order printed 
in the report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall 
be considered as read, shall be debatable for twenty minutes 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. 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 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.
