                    IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                           December 21, 1995

                               RESOLUTION


 
Directing that the Committee on Rules report a resolution providing for 
the consideration of H.R. 2530 (a bill to provide for deficit reduction 
          and achieve a balanced budget by fiscal year 2002).

Whereas clause 1 of rule IX of the Rules of the House of Representatives states 
        that ``Questions of privilege shall be, first, those affecting the 
        rights of the House collectively'';
Whereas article 1, section 9, clause 7 of the Constitution states that: ``No 
        Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of 
        Appropriations made by law;
Whereas today, December 21, 1995, marks the 81st day that this Congress has been 
        delinquent in fulfilling its statutory responsibility of enacting a 
        budget into law; and
Whereas by failing to enact a budget into law this body has failed to fulfill 
        one of its most basic constitutionally mandated duties, that of 
        appropriating the necessary funds to allow the Government to operate: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Committee on Rules is authorized and directed to 
forthwith report a resolution providing for the consideration of H.R. 
2530 (a bill to provide for deficit reduction and achieve a balanced 
budget by fiscal year 2002).
