                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 18, 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 5120) making appropriations for the Treasury Department, the United 
States Postal Service, the Executive Office of the President, and certain 
Independent Agencies, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 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 
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 ``Provided'' on page 12, line 19, through ``2003'' on line 23; 
beginning with ``Provided'' on page 74, line 15, through ``law'' on line 25; 
page 81, line 22, through page 82, line 7; page 102, line 19, through page 103, 
line 10. 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 Chairman of the 
Committee of the Whole shall accord priority in recognition to Representative 
Goss of Florida or his designee to offer the amendment printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, which may be offered only 
at the appropriate point in reading of the bill, shall be considered as read, 
and shall not be subject to amendment. All points of order against the amendment 
printed in the report are waived. Except as otherwise specified in this 
resolution, 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. 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.
