[H. Res. 505 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          May 19, 2000.
    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. 4475) making appropriations for the Department of Transportation and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, and for 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 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. The amendments printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted 
in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule 
XXI are waived except as follows: beginning with ``Provided further'' on page 8, 
line 17, through line 20; beginning with ``Provided further'' on page 13, line 
24, through page 14, line 8; ``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on 
page 20, line 18; ``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 26, 
line 15; ``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 27, lines 15 
and 16; ``Notwithstanding any other provision of law,'' on page 33, line 24; 
beginning with ``Provided'' on page 36, line 15, through line 20; page 51, line 
13, through page 52, line 18. 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. 
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, as amended, 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
