                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                        March 20, 2003.
    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 
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 95) establishing the congressional budget 
for the United States Government for fiscal year 2004 and setting forth 
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2003 and 2005 through 2013. The 
first reading of the concurrent resolution shall be dispensed with. All points 
of order against consideration of the concurrent resolution are waived. General 
debate shall not exceed three hours, with two hours of general debate confined 
to the congressional budget equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget, and one hour of general 
debate on the subject of economic goals and policies equally divided and 
controlled by Representative Saxton of New Jersey and Representative Stark of 
California or their designees. After general debate the concurrent resolution 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The amendment in 
the nature of a substitute specified in part A of the report of the Committee on 
Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted in the House 
and in the Committee of the Whole. The concurrent resolution, as amended, shall 
be considered as read. No further amendment shall be in order except those 
printed in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each amendment may be 
offered only in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for 
one hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and 
shall not be subject to amendment. All points of order against the amendments 
printed in the report are waived except that the adoption of a further amendment 
in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the conclusion of consideration 
of the concurrent resolution for amendment. After the conclusion of 
consideration of the concurrent resolution for further amendment, and a final 
period of general debate, which shall not exceed 20 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the 
Budget, the Committee shall rise and report the concurrent resolution, as 
amended, to the House with such further amendment as may have been adopted. The 
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the concurrent resolution 
and amendments thereto to final adoption without intervening motion except 
amendments offered by the chairman of the Committee on the Budget pursuant to 
section 305(a)(5) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to achieve 
mathematical consistency. The concurrent resolution shall not be subject to a 
demand for division of the question of its adoption.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
