                           February 29, 1996

     Mr. Goss, from the Committee on Rules, reported the following

                                printed

                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 994) to require the 
   periodic review and automatic termination of Federal regulations.

    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. 994) to require the 
periodic review and automatic termination of Federal regulations. The 
first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate shall 
be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided 
among and controlled by the chairmen and ranking minority members of 
the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and the Committee on 
the Judiciary. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendments 
recommended by the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and the 
Committee on the Judiciary now printed in the bill, 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 
printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 1 pursuant to clause 6 
of rule XXIII. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered by title rather than by section. The first section and each 
title shall be considered as read. Points of order against that 
amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with 
clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. 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 to the House with such amendments 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as 
original text. 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. Upon passage of H.R. 994, the action by which the House 
amended and passed the bill (S. 219) to ensure economy and efficiency 
of Federal Government operations by establishing a moratorium on 
regulatory rulemaking actions, and for other purposes, shall be 
vacated. It shall be in order to take that Senate bill from the 
Speaker's table and consider the Senate bill in the House. It shall be 
in order to consider a motion, if offered by the chairman of the 
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight or his designee, that the 
House strike all after the enacting clause of the Senate bill and 
insert the text of H.R. 994 as passed by the House. The motion to amend 
shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Government 
Reform and Oversight. Points of order against the motion to amend for 
failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. The previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the motion to amend and on 
the Senate bill to final passage without intervening motion except one 
motion to commit. If the motion to amend is adopted and the Senate 
bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be in order to move that the 
House insist on its amendments to S. 219 and request a conference with 
the Senate thereon.
