[H. Res. 252 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                      November 1, 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. 2546) making appropriations for the government of the District of 
Columbia and other activities chargeable in whole or in part against the 
revenues of said District for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, and for 
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All 
points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. General debate 
shall be confined to the bill and amendments specified in this resolution and 
shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. After general debate 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. Before 
consideration of any other amendment, it shall be in order without intervention 
of any point of order to consider the amendment printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, if offered by a Member 
designated in the report. That amendment shall be considered as read, 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. If that amendment is adopted, the bill, as amended, shall be considered 
as the original bill for the purpose of further amendment. The bill, as amended, 
shall be considered as read through page 58, line 4. All points of order against 
provisions of the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of 
rule XXI are waived. Debate on each further amendment to the bill and any 
amendments thereto shall be limited to thirty minutes. It shall be in order 
without intervention of any point of order to consider each of the amendments 
printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 1, 2, or 4 pursuant to clause 6 
of rule XXIII, if offered by the Member who caused it to be printed or a 
designee. Each such amendment shall be considered as read, shall be debatable 
for thirty 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. During 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, as amended, to the House with such further amendments as may have been 
adopted. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as 
amended, and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion 
except one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
