 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 2259) to disapprove 
                certain sentencing guideline amendments.

    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.
