                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 12, 2002.
    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. 4687) to provide for the establishment of investigative teams to 
assess building performance and emergency response and evacuation procedures in 
the wake of any building failure that has resulted in substantial loss of life 
or that posed significant potential of substantial loss of life. The first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 Science. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 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 Science now printed in the bill. Each section of 
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. 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. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
