                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4828) to designate 
 wilderness areas and a cooperative management and protection area in 
the vicinity of Steens Mountain in Harney County, Oregon, 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. 4828) to designate 
wilderness areas and a cooperative management and protection area in 
the vicinity of Steens Mountain in Harney County, Oregon, 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 Resources. After general debate the bill 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu 
of the amendment recommended by the Committee on Resources 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 Congressional Record and 
numbered 1 pursuant to clause 8 of rule XVIII. That amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. 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 instructions.
