                               RESOLUTION


 
  Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 512) to prohibit the 
expenditure of funds from the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the 
      creation of new National Wildlife Refuges without specific 
   authorization from Congress pursuant to a recommendation from the 
     United States Fish and Wildlife Service to create the refuge.

    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. 512) to prohibit the 
expenditure of funds from the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the 
creation of new National Wildlife Refuges without specific 
authorization from Congress pursuant to a recommendation from the 
United States Fish and Wildlife Service to create the refuge. 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 Resources. 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 printed in the 
Congressional Record and numbered 1 pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII. 
That amendment shall be considered as read. Points of order against 
that amendment for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are 
waived. 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 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. 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 or without instructions.
