                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        March 11, 1999.
    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 42) regarding the use of United States Armed 
Forces as part of a NATO peacekeeping operation implementing a Kosovo peace 
agreement. The first reading of the concurrent resolution shall be dispensed 
with. General debate shall be confined to the concurrent resolution and shall 
not exceed two hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on International Relations. After general 
debate the concurrent resolution shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. The concurrent resolution shall be considered as read. No 
amendment to the concurrent resolution shall be in order except those printed in 
the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 
of rule XVIII and except pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate. Each 
amendment so printed may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be 
printed or his designee and 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 concurrent resolution for amendment the Committee shall 
rise and report the concurrent resolution to the House with such amendments as 
may have been adopted. The previous question shall be considered as ordered on 
the concurrent resolution to final adoption without intervening motion except 
one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
