                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for consideration of the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 
      17) relating to the treatment of Social Security under any 
constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget and providing for 
    consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 1) proposing a 
  balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution it 
shall be in order to consider in the House the concurrent resolution 
(H. Con. Res. 17) relating to the treatment of Social Security under 
any constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget, if called up 
by the majority leader or his designee. The concurrent resolution shall 
be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
majority leader and the minority leader or their designees. The 
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the concurrent 
resolution to final adoption without intervening motion.
    Sec. 2. At any time after the disposition of the concurrent 
resolution made in order by the first section 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 joint resolution (H.J. Res. 1) proposing 
a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of the United States. 
The first reading of the joint resolution shall be dispensed with. 
Points of order against consideration of the joint resolution for 
failure to comply with clause 2(g)(3) of rule XI are waived. General 
debate shall be confined to the joint resolution and shall not exceed 
three hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. After general debate 
the joint resolution shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule. The amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by 
the Committee on the Judiciary now printed in the joint resolution 
shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally 
divided and controlled by Representative Barton of Texas and an 
opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment while pending. No 
further amendment shall be in order except those designated in section 
3 of this resolution. Each amendment may be offered only in the order 
designated, may be offered only by the named proponent or a designee, 
may be considered notwithstanding the adoption of a previous amendment 
in the nature of a substitute, 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. If more than 
one amendment 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, except that if the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on the 
Judiciary is one of the amendments receiving the greater number of 
votes then it shall be the amendment considered as finally adopted. At 
the conclusion of consideration of the joint resolution for amendment 
the Committee shall rise and report the joint resolution to the House 
with such amendment as may have been finally adopted. The previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the joint resolution and any 
amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion except 
one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 3. The further amendments that may be offered after 
disposition of the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended 
by the Committee on the Judiciary are those printed in the portion of 
the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of 
rule XXIII with the following designations: (a) the amendment numbered 
4 by Representative Owens of New York; (b) the amendment numbered 1 by 
Representative Wise of West Virginia; (c) the amendment numbered 25 by 
Representative Conyers of Michigan; (d) the amendment numbered 29 by 
Representative Gephardt of Missouri; and (e) the amendment numbered 39 
by Representative Schaefer of Colorado.
