                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 14, 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. 2431) to establish an Office of Religious Persecution Monitoring, to 
provide for the imposition of sanctions against countries engaged in a pattern 
of religious persecution, and for other purposes. 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 International Relations. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In 
lieu of the amendments recommended by the Committees on International Relations, 
the Judiciary, and Ways and Means now printed in the bill, it shall be in order 
to consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-
minute rule an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of 
H.R. 3806, modified by the amendments printed in part 1 of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the nature of 
a substitute shall be considered as read. No amendment to that amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be in order except those printed in part 2 of the 
report of the Committee on Rules. Each amendment may be offered only in the 
order printed in the report, 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 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All 
points of order against the amendments printed in the report are waived. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
