[H. Res. 715 Engrossed in House (EH)]


                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 15, 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. 4818) making appropriations for foreign operations, export financing, 
and related programs 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: beginning with 
the semicolon in section 565(a)(2) through ``501)'' in section 565(a)(3). 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.
