  Providing for the consideration of the resolution (H. Con. Res. 66) 
setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government 
   for the fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution, 
the House shall resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on 
the State of the Union for the consideration of the resolution (H. Con. 
Res. 66) setting forth the congressional budget for the United States 
Government for the fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 
2002. The first reading of the resolution shall be dispensed with. All 
points of order against the resolution and against its consideration 
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the resolution and 
shall not exceed 2 hours to be equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget. 
After general debate, the resolution shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule and shall be considered as read. Before 
consideration of any other amendment, it shall be in order to consider 
the amendments specified in section 2. Each amendment specified in 
section 2 may be offered in the order specified, may be offered only by 
the named proponent or a designee, shall be debatable for one hour 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and 
shall not be subject to amendment. All points of order against the 
amendments specified in section 2 are waived except points of order 
arising under clause 7 of rule XVI. If more than one amendment 
specified in section 2 is adopted, then only the one receiving the 
greater number of affirmative votes shall be considered as finally 
adopted. In the case of a tie for the greater number of affirmative 
votes, then only the last amendment to receive that number of 
affirmative votes shall be considered as finally adopted. After the 
disposition of the amendments specified in section 2, then the 
concurrent resolution as amended to that point shall be considered as 
an original concurrent resolution for the purpose of further amendment 
and shall be considered as read. If on any day the Committee of the 
Whole rises and reports that it has come to no resolution on the 
resolution, then on the next legislative day the House shall, 
immediately after the third daily order of business under clause 1 of 
rule XXIV, resolve into the Committee of the Whole for further 
consideration of the resolution. At the conclusion of consideration of 
the resolution for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the 
resolution to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. 
The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the resolution 
and any amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion 
except amendments offered by the chairman of the Committee on the 
Budget pursuant to section 305(a)(5) of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 to achieve mathematical consistency.
    Sec. 2. The following amendments in the nature of a substitute are
