                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 25, 2001.
    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. 2590) making appropriations for the Treasury Department, the United 
States Postal Service, the Executive Office of the President, and certain 
Independent Agencies, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, 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 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. The amendment printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 5 
pursuant to clause 8 of rule XVIII may be offered only by Representative Smith 
of New Jersey or his designee and only at the appropriate point in the reading 
of the bill. All points of order against that amendment 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. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
