   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1627) to amend the 
  Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and the Federal 
         Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the 
Speaker shall, 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 the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1627) to amend the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and the Federal 
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and for other purposes. The first reading 
of the bill shall be dispensed with, and all points of order against 
the bill and its consideration are hereby waived. After general debate, 
which shall be confined to the bill and any amendments made in order 
under this resolution, and which shall not exceed two hours, equally 
divided between a proponent and an opponent thereto, the bill shall be 
considered as having been read for amendment under the five-minute 
rule.
    Sec. 2. Immediately following general debate, it shall be in order 
for the House to consider an amendment in the nature of a substitute to 
be offered by Mr. Bliley of Virginia or his designee. The substitute 
shall be considered as read, and all points of order against the 
substitute and its consideration are hereby waived. If the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute is adopted, the bill as so amended shall be 
considered as the original text for the purpose of amendment. No 
further amendments shall be in order to the bill except amendments 
which are printed in the Congressional Record at least one day prior to 
the adoption of this resolution. All points of order against any such 
amendment meeting these criteria are hereby waived, except those 
arising under clause 7 of rule XVI. No amendment to any amendment shall 
be in order. No amendment shall be subject to a demand for the division 
of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. Debate 
on any amendment to the bill shall not exceed sixty minutes. Debate 
time on amendments to the bill shall not exceed ten hours, and it shall 
not be in order to consider any motion which has the effect of limiting 
the total debate time on amendments to less than ten hours. At the 
conclusion of the 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. The previous question shall be 
considered to be ordered on the bill and any amendment thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit, with 
or without instructions.
    Sec. 3. If on any day the Committee rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the bill, the House shall, on the next 
legislative day immediately following House approval of the Journal, 
resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole on the state of the 
Union for the further consideration of the bill.
