[H. Res. 489 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 31, 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. 2823) to amend the Marine 
Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to support the International Dolphin 
Conservation Program in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, 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 Resources. After general debate the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In 
lieu of the amendment recommended by the Committee on Resources now 
printed in the bill, 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 printed in the Congressional 
Record and numbered 1 pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII. That 
amendment shall be considered as read. No other amendment shall be in 
order except a further amendment printed in the report of the Committee 
on Rules to accompany this resolution, which may be offered only by 
Representative Miller of California or his designee, 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. 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text. 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.
