[H. Res. 391 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        March 25, 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 
bill (H.R. 2578) to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to extend the visa 
waiver pilot program, and to provide for the collection of data with respect to 
the number of non-immigrants who remain in the United States after the 
expiration of the period of stay authorized by the Attorney General. 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. The bill shall be considered as read. No amendment to the bill shall be in 
order unless printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for 
that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. 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 15 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. 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.
    Sec. 2. After passage of H.R. 2578, it shall be in order to consider in the 
House the bill from the Senate S. 1178 to amend the Immigration and Nationality 
Act to extend the visa waiver pilot program, and for other purposes. It shall be 
in order to move that the House strike all after the enacting clause of the 
Senate bill and insert in lieu thereof the provisions of H.R. 2578, as passed by 
the House.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
