                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         June 23, 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. 2084) making appropriations for the Department of Transportation and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000, 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 401(a) 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 except as follows: page 10, line 16, through page 13, line 13; 
``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 13, line 16; 
``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 15, line 20; 
``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 17, line 14; 
``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 18, line 4; 
``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 19, line 5; 
``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 19, line 25;

``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 32, line 8; page 50, 
lines 1 through 9; page 50, line 22, through page 51, line 12; and page 52, 
lines 1 through 10. Where points of order are waived against part of a 
paragraph, points of order against a provision in another part of such paragraph 
may be made only against such provision and not against the entire paragraph. 
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 and only at 
the appropriate point in the reading of the bill, shall be considered as read, 
and shall not be subject to amendment. Points of order against the amendment 
printed in the report for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI 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. 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.
