 Providing for further consideration of the concurrent resolution (H. 
  Con. Res. 178) establishing the congressional budget for the United 
 States Government for fiscal year 1997 and setting forth appropriate 
  budgetary levels for fiscal years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.

    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 further consideration of the concurrent resolution (H. 
Con. Res. 178) establishing the congressional budget for the United 
States Government for fiscal year 1997 and setting forth appropriate 
budgetary levels for fiscal years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. No 
further general debate shall be in order. The concurrent resolution 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The 
concurrent resolution shall be considered as read. No amendment shall 
be in order except those designated in section 2 of this resolution. 
Each amendment may be offered only in the order designated, may be 
offered only by the Member designated or a designee (except that if no 
Member offers the amendment designated in paragraph (3) of section 2, 
then that amendment shall nevertheless be considered as pending at that 
point), shall be considered as read, 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 designated in section 2 are waived except that the adoption 
of an amendment in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the 
conclusion of consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment. 
After the conclusion of consideration of the concurrent resolution for 
amendment and a final period of general debate, which shall not exceed 
40 minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on the Budget, the Committee shall 
rise and report the concurrent resolution to the House with such 
amendment as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the concurrent resolution and amendments 
thereto to final adoption 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. The concurrent resolution shall not be 
subject to a demand for division of the question of its adoption.
    Sec. 2. The following amendments are in order pursuant to the first 
section of this resolution:
            (1) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
        Representative Payne of New Jersey printed on May 15, 1996, in 
        the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
        purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII.
            (2) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
        Representative Orton of Utah printed on May 15, 1996, in the 
        portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose 
        in clause 6 of rule XXIII.
            (3) An amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
        Representative Sabo of Minnesota printed on May 15, 1996, in 
        the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
        purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII, which may be offered by any 
        Member, or that failing, shall be considered as pending under 
        the terms of the first section of this resolution.
    Sec. 3. (a) If House Concurrent Resolution 178 is agreed to, then 
for all purposes of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 as it applies 
in the House--
            (1) the allocations of spending and credit responsibilities 
        that are depicted in House Report 104-575, beginning on page 
        158, shall be considered as the allocations otherwise required 
        by section 602(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to be 
        included in the joint explanatory statement of the managers on 
        a conference report to accompany a concurrent resolution on the 
        budget; and
            (2) the Congress shall be considered to have adopted House 
        Concurrent Resolution 178 in the form adopted by the House.
    (b) Upon adoption by the Congress of a concurrent resolution on the 
budget for fiscal year 1997, subsection (a) shall cease to apply.
    (c) This section supersedes section 603 of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974 with respect to the concurrent resolution on the budget for 
fiscal year 1997.
    Sec. 4. Rule XLIX shall not apply with respect to the adoption by 
the Congress of a concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 
1997.
