                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                      October 20, 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. 2) to send more dollars to the classroom and for certain 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 90 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Education and the Workforce. After general debate the bill shall be considered 
for amendment under the five-minute rule for a period not to exceed six hours. 
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 
recommended by the Committee on Education and the Workforce now printed in the 
bill. The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
as read. All points of order against the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute are waived. No amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of 
a substitute 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 amendment numbered 5 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. 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 committee amendment in the nature of a substitute. 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.
