                               RESOLUTION


 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2684) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
    Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies, boards, 
   commissions, corporations, and offices 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. 2684) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and 
Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies, boards, 
commissions, corporations, and offices for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2000, 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 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 70, 
line 15, through ``Act:'' on line 22; and page 93, lines 1 through 6. 
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. 
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 a Member 
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, may amend 
portions of the bill not yet read for amendment, 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. 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.
