                               RESOLUTION


 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3816) making 
  appropriations for energy and water development for the fiscal year 
           ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes.

    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. 3816) making 
appropriations for energy and water development for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 1997, and for other purposes. The first reading of 
the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 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 fifteen 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.
