                               RESOLUTION


 
  Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2538) to establish a 
   Presidential commission to determine the validity of certain land 
claims arising out of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo of 1848 involving 
the descendants of persons who were Mexican citizens at the time of the 
                                treaty.

    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. 2538) to establish a 
Presidential commission to determine the validity of certain land 
claims arising out of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo of 1848 involving 
the descendants of persons who were Mexican citizens at the time of the 
treaty. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points 
of order against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with 
section 303(a) 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 Resources. After general debate the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. It 
shall be in order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of 
amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on Resources now printed in the 
bill, modified by striking the last two sentences of subsection (c) of 
section 6. Each section of that amendment in the nature of a substitute 
shall be considered as read. During consideration of the bill for 
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 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.
