                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 21, 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. 3259) to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal year 1997 for intelligence and intelligence-
related activities of the United States Government, the Community 
Management Account, and the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and 
Disability System, and for other purposes. The first reading of the 
bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order against consideration of 
the bill for failure to comply with section 302(f), 308(a), or 401(a) 
of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 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 Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 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 Permanent Select Committee On 
Intelligence 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 section 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 7 of rule XVI, clause 5(b) 
of rule XXI, or section 302(f) or 401(a) of the Congressional Budget 
Act of 1974 are waived. No amendment to the committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be in order unless printed in the portion 
of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of 
rule XXIII. 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. 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.
