and (d) of section 105 of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal 
year 1998. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of 
order against consideration of the bill and against provisions in the bill, as 
amended by this resolution, are waived. General debate shall be confined to the 
bill and shall not exceed three hours 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. The amendment printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 2 pursuant 
to clause 6 of rule XXIII shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the

which may be offered only by Representative Rangel of New York or his designee, 
shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, 
and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House 
or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order against that amendment are 
waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill, as amended, for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to the House 
with such further amendment as may have been adopted. The previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, and any further
