                               RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1658) to provide a more 
just and uniform procedure for Federal civil forfeitures, 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. 1658) to provide a more 
just and uniform procedure for Federal civil forfeitures, and for other 
purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All 
points of order against consideration of the bill 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 the Judiciary. 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 an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute consisting of the bill modified by the amendment recommended 
by the Committee on the Judiciary now printed in the bill. Each section 
of that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as 
read. Before consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order 
to consider the amendment printed in the report of the Committee on 
Rules accompanying this resolution, which may be offered only by 
Representative Hyde or his designee, may amend portions of the bill not 
yet read for amendment, and shall be considered as read. No further 
amendment to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order 
as original text 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 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 instructions.
