                               RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 2854) to modify the 
              operation of certain agricultural programs.

    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. 2854) to modify the 
operation of certain agricultural programs. 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 the amendments made in order by this resolution and shall not 
exceed two hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Agriculture. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule. It shall be in order to consider as an original bill for the 
purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment in the 
nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Agriculture now 
printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. 
Notwithstanding clause 5(c) of rule XXIII, no amendment to the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order 
except the amendments specified in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution and amendments en bloc described in 
section 2 of this resolution. Each amendment specified in the report 
may be considered only in the order specified in the report, may be 
offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered 
as read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the report 
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. 
All points of order against the amendments made in order to the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. At the 
conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee 
shall rise and report the bill to the House with such amendment as may 
have been adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the House 
on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or 
to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments 
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the 
Committee on Agriculture or his designee to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments specified in the report of the Committee on 
Rules accompanying this resolution not earlier disposed of or germane 
modifications of any such amendments. Amendments en bloc offered 
pursuant to this section shall be considered as read (except that 
modifications shall be reported), shall be debatable for twenty minutes 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Agriculture or their designees, 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. For the 
purpose of inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed 
in the form of a motion to strike may be modified to the form of a 
germane perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be 
stricken. The original proponent of an amendment included in such 
amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record 
immediately before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
