[H. Res. 153 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 21, 1997.
    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. 408) 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. Points of order against that amendment for failure to 
comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. No amendment to that amendment 
shall be in order except the amendment printed in the Congressional Record 
pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII, 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.
