term ``joint resolution'' means only a joint resolution which is 
introduced within the 10-day period beginning on the date on which the 
President transmits the recommendations to Congress under section 13, 
and--
            (1) which does not have a preamble;
            (2) the matter after the resolving clause of which is as 
        follows: ``That Congress disapproves the recommendations of the 
        Civilian Property Realignment Commission as submitted by the 
        President on _________'', the blank space being filled in with 
        the appropriate date; and
            (3) the title of which is as follows: ``Joint resolution 
        disapproving the recommendations of the Civilian Property 
        Realignment Commission''.

Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure in the House of 
Representatives. A resolution described in subsection (c) introduced in

Public Works in the Senate.
    (e) Discharge.--If the committee to which a resolution described in 
subsection (c) is referred has not reported such a resolution (or an 
identical resolution) by the end of the 20-day period beginning on the 
date on which the President transmits the report to the Congress under 
section 13, such committee shall be, at the end of such period, 
discharged from further consideration of such resolution, and such 
resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar of the House 
involved.
    (f) Consideration.--
            (1) In general.--On or after the third day after the date 
        on which the committee to which such resolution is referred has 
        reported, or has been discharged (under subsection (e)) from 
        further consideration of, such a resolution, it is in order 
        (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been 
        disagreed to) for any Member of the respective House to move to 
        proceed to the consideration of the resolution. A member may 
        make the motion only on the date after the calendar day on 
        which the Member announces to the House concerned the Member's 
        intention to make the motion, except that, in the case of the 
        House of Representatives, the motion may be made without such 
        prior announcement if the motion is made by direction of the 
        committee to which the resolution was referred. The motion is 
        highly privileged in the House of Representatives and is 
        privileged in the Senate and is not debatable. The motion is 
        not subject to amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or to a 
        motion to proceed to the consideration of other business. A 
        motion to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to 
        or disagreed to shall not be in order. If a motion to proceed 
        to consideration of the joint resolution is agreed to, the 
        respective House shall immediately proceed to the consideration 
        of the joint resolution without intervening motion, order, or 
        other business, and the resolution shall remain the unfinished 
        business of the respective House until disposed of.
            (2) Debate.--Debate on the resolution and on all debatable 
        motions and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited 
        to not more than 2 hours, which shall be divided equally 
        between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. An 
        amendment to the resolution is not in order. A motion further 
        to limit debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to 
        postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of other 
        business, or a motion to recommit the resolution is not in 
        order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the resolution 
        is agreed to or disagreed is not in order.
            (3) Vote.--Immediately following the conclusion of the 
        debate on a resolution described in subsection (c) and a single 
        quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in 
        accordance with the rules of the appropriate House, the vote on 
        final passage of the resolution shall occur.
            (4) Appeals of decisions of the chair.--Appeals of the 
        decisions of the Chair relating to the application of the rules 
        of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case may 
        be, to the procedure relating to a resolution described in 
        subsection (c) shall be decided without debate.
    (g) Consideration by Other House.--
            (1) In general.--If, before the passage by one House of a 
        resolution of that House described in subsection (c), that 
        House received from the other House a resolution described in 
        subsection (c), then the following procedures shall apply:
                    (A) No committee referral.--The resolution of the 
                other House shall not be referred to a committee and 
                may not be considered in the House receiving it except 
                in the case of final passage as provided in 
                subparagraph (B).
                    (B) Resolution procedure.--With respect to a 
                resolution described in subsection (c) of the House 
                receiving the resolution the procedure in that House 
                shall be the same as if no resolution had been received 
                from the other House, but the vote on final passage 
                shall be on the resolution of the other House.
            (2) No consideration.--Upon disposition of the resolution 
        received from the other House, it shall no longer be in order 
        to consider the resolution that originated in the receiving 
        House.
    (h) Rules of the Senate and House.--This section is enacted by 
Congress--
            (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
        and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is 
        deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
        applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in 
        that House in the case of a resolution described in this 
        section, and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that 
        it is inconsistent with such rules; and
            (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
        either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
        procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
        to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that 
        House.
    (i) Failure to Pass Resolution of Disapproval.--If Congress fails 
to pass such a joint resolution within 45 calendar days after the date 
of the President's transmission to Congress of the Commission's 
recommendations, the recommendations immediately gain legal force and 
shall be in effect and Federal agencies shall implement and carry out 
all of the Commission's recommendations pursuant to section 15.

        employed by any Federal agency at a Federal civilian property 
        impacted by such actions; and
            (3) reimbursing other Federal agencies for actions 
        performed at the request of the Commission.
    (c) Necessary and Proper Actions.--When acting on a recommendation 
of the Commission, a Federal agency shall continue to act within their 
existing legal authorities, whether such authority has been delegated 
by the Administrator, or must work in partnership with the 
Administrator to carry out such actions. The Administrator may take 
such necessary and proper actions, including the sale, conveyance, or 
exchange of civilian real property, as required to implement the

        the salaries and expenses of the Commission for a particular 
        fiscal year, the Director of the Office of Management and

        during such year if the Director approves, in consultation with 
        the Administrator, a transfer to the Commission of amounts from 
        the ``Civilian Property Realignment Commission--Asset Proceeds 
        and Space Management Fund'' within the Federal Buildings Fund

        transactions pursuant to implementing the recommendations 
        pursuant to section 15.
            (3) Net proceeds (which are gross proceeds received from 
        the sale of any civilian real property pursuant to a 
        recommendation of the Commission, less the amounts transferred 
        from this account under subsection (b)(2)), shall be divided 
        between the General Fund of the Treasury and the Asset Proceeds

                    (A) 100 percent of all net proceeds in a fiscal 
                year until the total amount of net proceeds in that 
                fiscal year exceeds $50,000,000; and
                    (B) at least 60 percent of the net proceeds 
                thereafter in that fiscal year.
            (4) The Commission, in consultation with the Administrator, 
        may transfer from the net proceeds deposited into the Space 
        Management Fund pursuant to paragraph (3) to a Federal agency, 
        amounts necessary to cover costs associated with implementing

                    (B) for outplacement assistance to Federal 
                employees who work at a Federal property that is 
                affected by actions taken under this section, and whose
