                               RESOLUTION


 
         Relating to a question of the privileges of the House.

Whereas the inability of the House to pass a bill to raise the public debt limit 
        will cause the Federal Government to default on its obligations and 
        affect the dignity and integrity of House proceedings; and
Whereas the inability of the House to pass a bill to raise the public debt limit 
        will cause severe hardship on Federal employees, Federal contractors, 
        and the American people and cause millions of American citizens to hold 
        the House in disrepute: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution, the Speaker of 
the House shall take such action to keep the House in session until the 
House considers a clean bill regarding the debt ceiling to avoid 
default of the full faith and credit of the United States.
                                 <all>
