    Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 853) to amend the

  Federal spending, accrual budgeting for Federal insurance programs, 
 mitigation of the bias in the budget process toward higher spending, 
modifications in paygo requirements when there is an on-budget surplus, 
                        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. 853) to amend the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to provide for joint resolutions on 
the budget, reserve funds for emergency spending, strengthened 
enforcement of budgetary decisions, increased accountability for

mitigation of the bias in the budget process toward higher spending, 
modifications in paygo requirements when there is an on-budget surplus, 
and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be

not exceed 90 minutes, with 40 minutes equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the 
Budget, 30 minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Rules, and 20 minutes 
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. In 
lieu of the amendments recommended by the Committee on the Budget, the 
Committee on Rules, and the Committee on Appropriations 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 an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 4397. That 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. No 
amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in 
order except those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules. 
Each amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the report, 
may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be 
considered as read, 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. All points of order against the amendments printed in the report 
are waived. 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.
