                               RESOLUTION


 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2267) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the 
 Judiciary, 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. 2267) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the 
Judiciary, 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. 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. The amendment printed in part 1 
of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution 
shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the 
Whole. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original bill 
for the purpose of further amendment. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 
or 6 of rule XXI are waived. Before consideration of any other 
amendment it shall be in order to consider the amendment numbered 1 in 
part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules, if offered by the 
Member designated in the report, which may amend portions of the bill 
not yet read for amendment. The amendments printed in part 2 of the 
report of the Committee on Rules may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report and, except for the amendment numbered 1, may 
be offered only at the appropriate point in the reading of the bill. 
The amendments in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules 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 amendment numbered 2 in part 2 
of the report of the Committee on Rules are waived. Points of order 
against the amendments numbered 1 and 3 in part 2 of the report of the 
Committee on Rules for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are 
waived. During consideration of the bill for further 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, as 
amended, to the House with such further 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.
