[H. Res. 312 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          July 9, 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 
bill (H.R. 2660) making appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and 
Human Services, and Education, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 2004, 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. After general debate the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. All points of 
order against provisions in the bill are waived except section 217(b). Where 
points of order are waived against part of a section, points of order against a 
provision in another part of such section may be made only against such 
provision and not against the entire section. 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.
