[H. Res. 336 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 24, 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. 2210) to reauthorize the Head Start Act to improve the school 
readiness of disadvantaged children, and for other purposes. The first reading 
of the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 Education and the 
Workforce. After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under 
the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendment recommended by the Committee on 
Education and the Workforce now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to 
consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute 
rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in part A of the report 
of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. 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. No amendment to that 
amendment in the nature of a substitute 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 
the time specified in the report equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to 
a demand for division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
Whole. All points of order against such amendments are waived. After a motion 
that the Committee rise has been rejected on a legislative day, the Chairman may 
entertain another such motion on that day only if offered by the chairman of the 
Committee on Education and the Workforce or the Majority Leader or a designee. 
After a motion to strike out the enacting words of the bill (as described in 
clause 9 of rule XVIII) has been rejected, the Chairman may not entertain 
another such motion during further consideration of the bill. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
