[H. Res. 248 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                       October 3, 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. 2646) to provide for the continuation of agricultural programs 
through fiscal year 2011. 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 two hours equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Agriculture. After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendments recommended by the 
Committees on Agriculture and International Relations 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 an amendment in the nature of a substitute 
consisting of the text printed in part A of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution, modified by the amendment printed in part B of the 
report. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as 
read. All points of order against that amendment in the nature of a substitute 
are waived. No amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall 
be in order except those printed before October 3, 2001, in the portion of the 
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII and 
except pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate. Each amendment so printed 
may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be printed or his designee 
and shall be considered as read. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
