[H. Res. 167 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 13, 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. 1555) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2000 for 
intelligence and intelligence-related activities of the United States 
Government, the Community Management Account, and the Central Intelligence 
Agency Retirement and Disability System, and for other purposes. 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 the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence. 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 Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered by title rather than by section. Each title shall 
be considered as read. Points of order against the committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are 
waived. No amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute 
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 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 committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute. 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.
