                               RESOLUTION


 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2466) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related agencies 
 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000, 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. 2466) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior 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 section 
306 or 401 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: beginning with 
``Provided'' on page 37, line 23, through the closing quotation mark on 
page 38, line 13; beginning with ``Provided'' on page 59, line 13, 
through 22; beginning with ``and such new'' on page 76, line 16, 
through 22; and page 80, line 11, through ``funding agreements'' on 
line 23. 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, 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 that amendment 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 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.
