[H. Res. 125 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        March 24, 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 
bill (H.R. 1141) making emergency supplemental appropriations 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 clause 4(c) of rule XIII or section 302 or 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. Points of order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with 
clause 2 of rule XXI are waived. The amendment printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, 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 
amendment printed in the report are waived. 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 8 of rule XVIII. 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 or section 302(c) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 are waived. 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. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
