                               RESOLUTION


 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2107) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related agencies 
 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, and for other purposes.

    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. 2107) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related agencies 
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, and for other purposes. 
The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order 
against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with section 
306 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 Appropriations. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. Points of order 
against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 
of rule XXI are waived except as follows: beginning with ``: Provided'' 
on page 46, line 25, through ``part 121'' on page 47, line 6; and page 
76, line 10, through line 13. Where points of order are waived against 
part of a paragraph, points of order against a provision in another 
part of such paragraph may be made only against such provision and not 
against the entire paragraph. The amendments printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution may be offered only 
by a Member designated in the report and only at the appropriate point 
in the reading of the bill, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in the report 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 the amendments printed in the report 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. 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. During 
consideration of the bill, points of order against amendments for 
failure to comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI are waived. 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. 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.
