[H. Res. 472 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 10, 1996.
    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declared the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3755) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, 
and Education, and related agencies, for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 1997, 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 clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI, clause 7 
of rule XXI, or section 302 or 308 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974 are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall 
not exceed two hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. Points of order against provisions in the bill for 
failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are waived. During 
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 
15 minutes. After the reading of the final lines of the bill, a motion 
that the Committee of the Whole rise and report the bill to the House 
with such amendments as may have been adopted shall, if offered by the 
majority leader or a designee, have precedence over a motion to amend. 
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. 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.
