               Providing for consideration of H.R. 3580.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the 
House shall resolve into the Committee of the Whole House on the state 
of the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3580) making 
supplemental appropriations and rescissions for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 1998, and for other purposes. The first reading of the 
bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against the bill and 
against its consideration are waived. 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 Appropriations. After general debate the bill shall be considered 
for amendment under the five-minute rule. The amendments printed in 
section 2 of this resolution shall be considered as adopted in the 
House and in the Committee of the Whole. The bill, as amended, shall be 
considered as the original bill for the purpose of further amendment 
and shall be considered as read. Points of order against provisions in 
the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule 
XXI are waived. All points of order against the amendment specified in 
section 3 of this resolution except those arising under clause 7 of 
rule XVI are waived. That amendment may be offered only by 
Representative Obey or his designee. If on any day the Committee of the 
Whole rises and reports that it has come to no resolution on the bill, 
then on the next legislative day the House shall, immediately after the 
third daily order of business under clause 1 of rule XXIV, resolve into 
the Committee of the Whole for further consideration of the bill. 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.

the Committee of the Whole pursuant to the first section of this
