 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 218) to amend title 18, 
    United States Code, to exempt qualified current and former law 
   enforcement officers from State laws prohibiting the carrying of 
                          concealed handguns.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the 
House shall resolve into the Committee of the Whole House on the state 
of the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 218) to amend title 
18, United States Code, to exempt qualified current and former law 
enforcement officers from State laws prohibiting the carrying of 
concealed handguns. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
with and all points of order against the bill and its consideration are 
waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not 
exceed one hour, to be equally divided and controlled by Mr. Cunningham 
of California and a Member opposed thereto. After general debate, the 
bill shall be considered as having been read for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. At the conclusion of the 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. If the Committee of the Whole 
rises and reports that it has come to no resolution on the bill, then 
on the next legislative day the House shall, immediately after the 
third daily order of business under clause 1 of rule XIV, resolve into 
the Committee of the Whole for further consideration of the bill.
