[H. Res. 237 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                      October 18, 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. 2259) to disapprove certain sentencing guideline amendments. 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 
one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on the Judiciary. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. An amendment in the nature 
of a substitute consisting of the text of S. 1254, as passed by the Senate, 
shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. 
The bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original bill for the purpose 
of further amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill, as amended, shall be 
considered as read. No further amendment shall be in order except the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution, which may be offered only by Representative 
Conyers of Michigan or his designee, 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. At the conclusion of 
consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the 
bill, as amended, to the House with such further amendment as may have been 
adopted. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as 
amended, and any amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion 
except one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2. After passage of H.R. 2259, it shall be in order to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill S. 1254 and to consider the Senate bill in the House. 
All points of order against the Senate bill and against its consideration are 
waived. It shall be in order to move to strike all after the enacting clause of 
the Senate bill and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions of H.R. 2259 as 
passed by the House. All points of order against that motion are waived. If the 
motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be 
in order to move that the House insist on its amendment to S. 1254 and request a 
conference with the Senate thereon.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
