Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 664) to amend title II of 
   the Social Security Act to provide that the reductions in Social 
    Security benefits which are required in the case of spouses and 
 surviving spouses who are also receiving certain Government pensions 
shall be equal to the amount by which the total amount of the combined 
 monthly benefit (before reduction) and monthly pension exceeds $1,200.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the 
House shall without intervention of any point of order consider in the 
House the bill (H.R. 664) to amend title II of the Social Security Act 
to provide that the reductions in Social Security benefits which are 
required in the case of spouses and surviving spouses who are also 
receiving certain Government pensions shall be equal to the amount by 
which the total amount of the combined monthly benefit (before 
reduction) and monthly pension exceeds $1,200. The first reading of the 
bill shall be dispensed with. After general debate, which shall be 
confined to the bill and shall not exceed 2 hours, to be equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Ways and Means, the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. No amendment shall be in order 
except an amendment by and if offered by Mr. Jefferson of Louisiana, or 
his designee, and shall be debatable for not to exceed one hour, 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and a Member opposed 
thereto. Such amendment shall not be subject to an amendment and shall 
not be subject to a division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. 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.
