                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for consideration of the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 
    84) establishing the congressional budget for the United States 
Government for fiscal year 1998 and setting forth appropriate budgetary 
          levels for fiscal years 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002.

    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 concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 
84) establishing the congressional budget for the United States 
Government for fiscal year 1998 and setting forth appropriate budgetary 
levels for fiscal years 1990, 2000, 2001, and 2002. The first reading 
of the concurrent resolution shall be dispensed with. All points of 
order against the concurrent resolution and against its consideration 
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the congressional 
budget and shall not exceed five hours and twenty minutes (including 
one hour on the subject of economic goals and policies), with five 
hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on the Budget and twenty minutes 
controlled by Representative Minge of Minnesota or his designee. After 
general debate the concurrent resolution shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. The concurrent resolution shall 
be considered as read. No amendment shall be in order except the 
amendments in the nature of substitutes designated in section 2 of this 
resolution, if printed in the portion of the Congressional Record 
designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Each amendment 
may be offered only in the order designated, may be offered only by a 
Member designated, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for 
twenty minutes (except as otherwise provided in section 2) equally 
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not 
be subject to amendment. All points of order against the amendments 
designated in section 2 are waived except that the adoption of an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the conclusion 
of consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment. The 
Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time 
during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request 
for a recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes 
the minimum time for electronic voting on any postponed question that 
follows another electronic vote without intervening business, provided 
that the minimum time for electronic voting on the first in any series 
of questions shall be fifteen minutes. After the conclusion of 
consideration of the concurrent resolution for amendment, the Committee 
shall rise and report the concurrent resolution to the House with such 
amendments as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the concurrent resolution and amendments 
thereto to final adoption without intervening motion except amendments 
offered by the chairman of the Committee on the Budget pursuant to 
section 305(a)(5) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to achieve 
mathematical consistency. The concurrent resolution shall not be 
subject to a demand for division of the question of its adoption.
    Sec. 2. The following amendments are in order pursuant to the first 
section of this resolution:
            (1) the amendment numbered 1, which shall be debatable for 
        one hour;
            (2) the amendment numbered 2;
            (3) the amendment numbered 3;
            (4) the amendment numbered 4; and
            (5) the amendment numbered 5.
    Sec. 3. Rule XLIX shall not apply with respect to the adoption by 
the Congress of a concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 
1998.
