                               RESOLUTION


 
  Providing for further consideration of the bill (H.R. 2160) making 
   appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
   Administration, and Related Agencies programs 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 the further consideration of the bill (H.R. 2160) making 
appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration, and Related Agencies programs for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 1998, and for other purposes. 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: page 56, line 18, through 
line 24; and page 68, line 12, through line 16. 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. No further 
amendment shall be in order except amendments printed before July 22, 
1997, in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII, the amendments printed in the 
Congressional Record and numbered 21, 22, and 23 pursuant to clause 6 
of rule XXIII, and the amendment by Representative Obey of Wisconsin 
pending when the Committee of the Whole rose on July 22, 1997. Each 
amendment shall be considered as read and shall be debatable for ten 
minutes (except as otherwise provided in section 2 of this resolution) 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent. 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 a motion that the 
Committee rise has been rejected on a day, the Chairman of the 
Committee of the Whole may entertain another such motion on that day 
only if offered by the chairman of the Committee on Appropriations or 
the majority leader or their designee. After a motion to strike out the 
enacting words of the bill (as described in clause 7 of rule XXIII) has 
been rejected, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may not 
entertain another such motion during further consideration of the bill. 
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.
    Sec. 2. The time for debate on the following amendments shall be 
thirty minutes:
            (1) the amendment by Representative Obey of Wisconsin 
        pending when the Committee of the Whole rose on July 22, 1997, 
        which shall be debatable for thirty minutes notwithstanding the 
        time consumed on the amendment on July 22, 1997;
            (2) the amendment numbered 17;
            (3) the amendment numbered 3; and
            (4) the amendment numbered 21.
