                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 26, 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. 2620) making appropriations for the Departments of Veterans Affairs 
and Housing and Urban Development and for sundry independent agencies, boards, 
commissions, corporations, and offices 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. Points of order against provisions in 
the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived except as 
follows: beginning with ``, except that'' on page 64, line 12, through 
``drinking water contaminants'' on line 17. Where points of order are waived 
against part of a paragraph, points of order against a provision in another part 
of such paragraph may be made only against such provision and not against the 
entire paragraph. The amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution may be offered only by a Member designated in the 
report and only at the appropriate point in the reading of the bill, shall be 
considered as read, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject 
to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
Whole. All points of order against the amendment printed in the report are 
waived. 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. During 
consideration of the bill, points of order against amendments for failure to 
comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI are waived. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
