                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 22, 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. 2799) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, 
and State, the Judiciary, 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 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: the first proviso under the heading ``National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration, Salaries and Expenses''; in 
section 201, all after ``prescribed by the Act''; the final proviso under the 
heading ``Federal Communications Commission, Salaries and Expenses''; the final 
proviso under the heading ``Federal Trade Commission, Salaries and Expenses''; 
section 603; and section 607(a) and (b). Where points of order are waived 
against part of a paragraph or section, points of order against a provision in 
another part of such paragraph or section may be made only against such 
provision and not against the entire paragraph or 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.
