                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                      February 4, 1998.
    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 
joint resolution (H.J. Res. 107) expressing the sense of the Congress that the 
award of attorneys' fees, costs, and sanctions of $285,864.78 ordered by United 
States District Judge Royce C. Lamberth on December 18, 1997, should not be paid 
with taxpayer funds. The first reading of the joint resolution shall be 
dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the joint resolution and 
shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by Representative 
Hayworth of Arizona or his designee and Representative Stark of California or 
his designee. After general debate the joint resolution shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. The joint resolution 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 joint resolution for amendment the Committee 
shall rise and report the joint resolution to the House with such amendments as 
may have been adopted. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on 
the joint resolution and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
motion except one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
