                               RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 17) to provide economic 
                    security for America's workers.

    Resolved, That immediately upon adoption of this resolution the 
Speaker shall, 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. 17) to provide economic 
security for America's workers. 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 Ways and Means. 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 an amendment in 
the nature of a substitute printed in the Congressional Record pursuant 
to clause 8 of rule XVIII by the ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Ways and Means. That amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived (except those 
arising under clause 7 of rule XVI). No amendment to that amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be in order except a further amendment 
in the nature of a substitute offered by the chairman of the Committee 
on Ways and Means or his designee. That amendment 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 that amendment are waived 
(except those arising under clause 7 of rule XVI). 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 
amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. 
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.
    Sec. 2. If the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the bill, then on the next legislative day the 
House shall, immediately after the third daily order of business under 
clause 1 of rule XIV, resolve into the Committee of the Whole for 
further consideration of the bill.
