                               RESOLUTION


 
    Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 514) to amend the 
 Communications Act of 1934 to strengthen and clarify prohibitions on 
           electronic eavesdropping, 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. 514) to amend the 
Communications Act of 1934 to strengthen and clarify prohibitions on 
electronic eavesdropping, and for other purposes. The first reading of 
the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order against consideration 
of the bill for failure to comply with clause 4(a) of rule XIII 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 Commerce. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule. Each section of the bill 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 and 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.
