                               RESOLUTION


 
  Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1827) to improve the 
economy and efficiency of Government operations by requiring the use of 
                  recovery audits by Federal agencies.

    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. 1827) to improve the 
economy and efficiency of Government operations by requiring the use of 
recovery audits by Federal agencies. 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 Government 
Reform. In lieu of the amendment recommended by the Committee on 
Government Reform 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 report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. 
Points of order against that amendment in the nature of a substitute 
for failure to comply with clause 4 of rule XXI 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 instuctions.
