                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2204) to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal years 1998 and 1999 for the Coast Guard, 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. 2204) to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal years 1998 and 1999 for the Coast Guard, 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 401 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 Transportation and 
Infrastructure. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider 
as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute 
rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure now printed in the bill. 
The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered as read. Points of order against the committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule 
XVI or section 401 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 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. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the House 
on any amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or 
to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute. 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.
