                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          June 8, 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. 4577) making appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and 
Human Services, and Education, 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 
part A of 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'' on page 44, line 4, through ``as amended'' on line 14. 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. The amendment printed in part B 
of the report of the Committee on Rules may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report and only at the appropriate point in the reading of the 
bill, 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 amendment printed in part B of the report are 
waived. 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. During consideration 
of the bill, points of order against amendments for failure to comply with 
clause 2(e) of rule XXI are waived. 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 further 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.
    Sec. 2. House Resolution 515 is laid on the table.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
