[H. Res. 674 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         June 16, 2004.
    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. 4568) making appropriations for the Department of Interior and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005, 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: in 
title I, the sixth proviso under the heading ``Wildland Fire Management,'' the 
final proviso under the heading ``United States Geological Survey, 
Administrative Provisions,'' and section 113; in title II, the fourteenth 
proviso under the heading ``Wildland Fire Management'' and the final sentence of 
the sixth paragraph under the heading ``Administrative Provisions, Forest 
Service''; in title III, section 317, the proviso in section 319, and sections 
324, 328, 331, and 333. 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 on 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.
