                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1710) to combat 
                               terrorism.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution, 
the House shall resolve into the Committee of the Whole House on the 
State of the Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1710) to 
combat terrorism. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
with. All points of order against the bill and against its 
consideration are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill 
and shall not exceed 1 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 5-minute rule. Each section shall be considered as read. If on any 
day the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has come to no 
resolution on the bill, then on the next legislative day the House 
shall, immediately after the third daily order of business under clause 
1 of rule XXIV, resolve into the Committee of the Whole for further 
consideration of the bill. At the conclusion of the 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. The previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and any amendment 
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except 1 motion to 
recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2. After the passage of H.R. 1710, it shall be in order in the 
House, any rule of the House to the contrary notwithstanding, to take 
from the Speaker's table the bill S. 735, move to strike all after the 
enacting clause and insert in lieu thereof the provisions of H.R. 1710 
as passed by the House. If the motion is adopted and the Senate bill, 
as amended, is passed, it shall then be in order to move that the House 
insist upon its amendment to S. 735 and request a conference with the 
Senate thereon.
