      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4193) making

 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. 4193) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related agencies 
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 or 401 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 part 1 of 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 10, 
through page 89, line 6. If an unprotected provision is stricken on a 
point of order, the Committee of the Whole shall immediately consider 
the amendment printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules 
if offered by Representative Johnson of Connecticut or her designee. 
That amendment shall be considered as read, be debatable for 30 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 the amendments printed in the report 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. During consideration of the bill, points of order 
against amendments for failure to comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI 
are waived. 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.
