                               RESOLUTION


 
                    Amending clause 5 of rule XXVI.

    Resolved, That subparagraph (1) of clause 5(a) of rule XXVI is 
amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(A)'' before ``A Member''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new subdivision:
    ``(B) A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or 
employee of the House may accept a gift (other than cash or cash 
equivalent) that the Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, 
or employee reasonably and in good faith believes to have a value of 
less than $50 and a cumulative value from one source during a calendar 
year of less than $100. A gift having a value of less than $10 does not 
count toward the $100 annual limit. Formal recordkeeping is not 
required by this subdivision, but a Member, Delegate, Resident 
Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall make a good faith 
effort to comply with this subdivision.''.
                                 <all>
