                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1544) to prevent Federal 
 agencies from pursuing policies of unjustifiable nonacquiescence in, 
  and relitigation of, precedents established in the Federal judicial 
                               circuits.

    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. 1544) to prevent Federal 
agencies from pursuing policies of unjustifiable nonacquiescence in, 
and relitigation of, precedents established in the Federal judicial 
circuits. 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 the Judiciary. 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 the Judiciary now printed in 
the bill. Each section of the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read. 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.
