[H. Res. 55 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                      February 2, 1995.
    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. 2) to give the President item veto authority over appropriation Acts 
and targeted tax benefits in revenue Acts. The first reading of the bill shall 
be dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not 
exceed two hours, with one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight 
and one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Rules. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendments 
recommended by the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight and the 
Committee on Rules, 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 report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as 
read. Points of order against the amendment in the nature of a substitute for 
failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI 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. 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.
