   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 867) to promote the 
                  adoption of children in foster care.

    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. 867) to promote the 
adoption of children in foster care. 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 or section 
303(a) or 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. 
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 Ways and Means. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule. 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 recommended by the Committee on Ways and Means 
now printed in the bill, modified as specified in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each section of the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall 
be considered as read. Points of order against the committee amendment 
in the nature of a substitute, as modified, for failure to comply with 
clause 7 of rule XVI or section 303(a) or 306 of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 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 committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified. 
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.
