   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4546) to authorize 
  appropriations for fiscal year 2003 for military activities of the 
  Department of Defense, and for military construction, to prescribe 
   military personnel strengths for fiscal year 2003, and for other 
                               purposes.

    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. 4546) to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal year 2003 for military activities of the 
Department of Defense, and for military construction, to prescribe 
military personnel strengths for fiscal year 2003, 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 Armed Services. After general debate the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule.
    Sec. 2. (a) It shall be in order to consider as an original bill 
for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Armed 
Services now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the nature 
of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order 
against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are 
waived.
    (b) No amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be in order except those printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution and amendments en bloc 
described in section 3 of this resolution.
    (c) Except as specified in section 4 of this resolution, each 
amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules shall be 
considered only in the order printed in the report, may be offered only 
by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, and 
shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the 
House or in the Committee of the Whole. Unless otherwise specified in 
the report, each amendment printed in the report shall be debatable for 
10 minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent and shall not be subject to amendment (except as specified in 
the report and except that the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Armed Services each may offer one pro forma amendment 
for the purpose of further debate on any pending amendment).
    (d) All points of order against amendments printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules or amendments en bloc described in section 3 of 
this resolution are waived.
    Sec. 3. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the 
Committee on Armed Services or his designee to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments printed in part B of the report of the 
Committee on Rules not earlier disposed of or germane modifications of 
any such amendment. Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this section 
shall be considered as read (except that modifications shall be 
reported), shall be debatable for 40 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
on Armed Services or their designees, 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. For the purpose 
of inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the 
form of a motion to strike may be modified to the form of a germane 
perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be stricken. 
The original proponent of an amendment included in such amendments en 
bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately 
before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
    Sec. 4. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may recognize 
for consideration of any amendment printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules out of the order printed, but not sooner than one 
hour after the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services or a 
designee announces from the floor a request to that effect.
    Sec. 5. 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 committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute. 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.
