 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1664) making emergency 
 supplemental appropriations for military operations, refugee relief, 
and humanitarian assistance relating to the conflict in Kosovo, and for 
   military operations in Southwest Asia 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 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. 1664) making emergency 
supplemental appropriations for military operations, refugee relief, 
and humanitarian assistance relating to the conflict in Kosovo, and for 
military operations in Southwest Asia 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 of rule XIII or section 
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. Before consideration of any other amendment it 
shall be in order to consider the amendments printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment 
printed in the report may be considered only in the order printed in 
the report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, 
shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified 
in the report 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 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 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.
