      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2158) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
 Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies, commissions, 
  corporations, and offices 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. 2158) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies, commissions, 
corporations, and offices 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 clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI, clause 7 of rule XXI, 
or 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: on 
page 25, line 17, through page 27, line 4; beginning with ``: 
Provided'' on page 28, line 20, through ``loans'' on page 29, line 11; 
beginning with ``: Provided'' on page 48, line 3, through ``program'' 
on line 7; and on page 76, line 7 through line 12. 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 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. 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.
