      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4461) making 
   appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
   Administration, and Related Agencies programs for the fiscal year 
           ending September 30, 2001, 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. 4461) making 
appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug 
Administration, and Related Agencies programs 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. When the reading for 
amendment reaches title VIII, that title shall be considered as read. 
Points of order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply 
with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived except as follows: page 74, line 
19, through page 75, line 4; page 84, line 21, through page 96, line 4. 
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. 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 513 is laid on the table.
