      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2266) making 
appropriations for the Department of Defense 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. 2266) making 
appropriations for the Department of Defense 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(1)(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. 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.
