                               RESOLUTION


 
  Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2493) to establish a 
 mechanism by which the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of 
the Interior can provide for uniform management of livestock grazing on 
                             Federal lands.

    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. 2493) to establish a 
mechanism by which the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of 
the Interior can provide for uniform management of livestock grazing on 
Federal lands. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 
General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one 
hour, with thirty minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Resources and 
thirty minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Agriculture. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule for a period not to exceed three hours. 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 Resources now printed in the bill. The 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
as read. Before consideration of any other amendment it shall be in 
order to consider the amendment printed in the report of the Committee 
on Rules accompanying this resolution, if offered by Representative 
Smith of Oregon or his designee. That amendment shall be considered as 
read, shall be debatable for ten minutes equally divided and controlled 
by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be subject to a demand 
for division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
Whole. If that amendment is adopted, the committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute, as amended, shall be considered as the original 
bill for the purpose of further amendment. 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 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 
amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. 
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 our without instructions.
