[H. Res. 31 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                      February 3, 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. 99) to amend title 49, United States Code, to extend Federal Aviation 
Administration programs through September 30, 1999, 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(a) of rule XIII or 
section 302(f) or section 303(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 Transportation and Infrastructure. After general debate, the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of 
the amendment recommended by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure 
now printed in the bill, 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 printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 1 
pursuant to clause 8 of rule XVIII. Each section of that amendment in the nature 
of a substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against the 
amendment for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI or section 302(f) or 
section 303(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 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. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
