[H. Res. 484 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         June 24, 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. 4103) making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, 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 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 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. During consideration of the bill for further 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. Consideration of 
section 8106 for amendment under the five-minute rule shall not exceed one hour. 
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 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
