[H. Res. 701 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                          July 7, 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. 4754) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, 
and State, the Judiciary, 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: section 108; beginning with ``Provided'' on page 48, 
line 13, through the colon on line 19; beginning with ``and'' on page 57, line 
24, through page 58, line 2; section 603; beginning with ``or (6)'' on page 97, 
line 21, through the semicolon on line 23; and section 607. 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.
