                               RESOLUTION


 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4194) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
    Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies, boards, 
   commissions, corporations, and offices for the fiscal year ending 
              September 30, 1999, and for other purposes.

    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. 4194) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies, boards, 
commissions, corporations, and offices 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 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 amendment 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 except as follows: 
page 88, line 16, through page 91, line 3. Where points of order are 
waived against part of a paragraph, points of order against a provision 
in another part of such paragraph may be made only against such 
provision and not against the entire paragraph. The amendment printed 
in the Congressional Record and numbered 12 pursuant to clause 6 of 
rule XXIII may be offered only by Representative Leach of Iowa or his 
designee, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for 40 
minutes 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 that amendment 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. 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.
