    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. 3579) making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal 
year ending September 30, 1998, 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 clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI, clause 7 of rule XXI, or 
section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. General debate 
shall not exceed 90 minutes, with 60 minutes of general debate confined to the 
bill equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member 
of the Committee on Appropriations, and 30 minutes of general debate confined to 
title III equally divided and controlled by Representative Skaggs or his 
designee and a Member opposed to title III. After general debate the bill shall 
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill shall be 
considered as read. The amendments printed in part 1 of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted 
in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of 
rule XXI are waived. No other amendment shall be in order except the further 
amendment printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules. That 
amendment may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the report 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for a division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order 
against that amendment are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the 
bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to 
the House with such further amendment 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.
