[H. Res. 422 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                           May 7, 1996.
    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. 3120) to amend title 18, 
United States Code, with respect to witness retaliation, witness 
tampering and jury tampering. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. Points of order against consideration of the bill for 
failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XIII are waived. General debate 
shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on the Judiciary. 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 the Judiciary now printed in the bill. 
The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered as read. 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 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.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
