[H. Res. 83 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                     February 15, 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. 7) to revitalize the national security of the United States. The 
first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate shall be 
confined to the bill and the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in 
order by this resolution and shall not exceed two hours equally divided among 
and controlled by the chairmen and ranking minority members of the Committee on 
International Relations and the Committee on National Security. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule for 
a period not to exceed ten hours. In lieu of the amendments recommended by the 
Committee on International Relations, the Committee on National Security, and 
the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, it shall be in order to consider 
as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 872. The 
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 (5)(a) 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. 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.
