                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2406) to repeal the 
   United States Housing Act of 1937, deregulate the public housing 
 program and the program for rental housing assistance for low-income 
families, increase community control over such programs, and for other 
                               purposes.

    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. 2406) to repeal the 
United States Housing Act of 1937, deregulate the public housing 
program and the program for rental housing assistance for low-income 
families, and increase community control over such programs, and for 
other purposes. 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 and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Banking and Financial Services. 
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 
Banking and Financial Services now printed in the bill. The committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title 
rather than by section. The first two sections and each title shall be 
considered as read. Points of order against the committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 5(a) of 
rule XXI are waived. Before consideration of any other amendment it 
shall be in order to consider the amendment printed in the 
Congressional Record of May 7, 1996, pursuant to clause 6 of rule 
XXIII, if offered by Representative Lazio of New York or his designee. 
That amendment shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for ten 
minutes 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 that amendment are 
waived. If that amendment is adopted, the bill, as amended, shall be 
considered as the original bill for the purpose of further amendment. 
During further 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. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may 
postpone until a time during further consideration in the Committee of 
the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any amendment. The Chairman 
of the Committee of the Whole may reduce to not less than five minutes 
the time for voting by electronic device on any postponed question that 
immediately follows another vote by electronic device without 
intervening business, provided that the time for voting by electronic 
device on the first in any series of questions shall be not less than 
fifteen minutes. 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 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. After passage of H.R. 2406, it shall be in order to take 
from the Speaker's table the bill S. 1260 and to consider the Senate 
bill in the House. It shall be in order to move to strike all after the 
enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu thereof the 
provisions of H.R. 2406 as passed by the House. All points of order 
against that motion are waived. If the motion 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. 1260 and request a conference with 
the Senate thereon.
