                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4300) to support enhanced 
drug interdiction efforts in the major transit countries and support a 
   comprehensive supply eradication and crop substitution program in 
                           source countries.

    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. 4300) to support enhanced 
drug interdiction efforts in the major transit countries and support a 
comprehensive supply eradication and crop substitution program in 
source countries. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
with. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 
one hour equally divided and controlled by Representative Hastert of 
Illinois, and a Member opposed to the bill. After general debate the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule for a 
period not to exceed three hours. 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 printed in the 
Congressional Record and numbered 1 pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII. 
That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as 
read. Points of order against that amendment in the nature of a 
substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. 
During consideration of the bill for amendments, 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 instruction.
