     PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 1905, LEGISLATIVE BRANCH 
                        APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2000

  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on 
Rules, I call up House Resolution 190 and ask for its immediate 
consideration.
  The Clerk read the resolution, as follows:

                              H. Res. 190

       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. 1905) making appropriations for the 
     Legislative Branch for the fiscal year ending September 30, 
     2000, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill 
     shall be dispensed with. Points of order against 
     consideration of the bill for failure to comply with section 
     306 or 401 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 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: page 
     18, line 19, through page 19, line 15. No amendment shall be 
     in order except the amendment printed in the report of the 
     Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution and except 
     pro forma amendments offered by the chairman or ranking 
     minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or their 
     designees for the purpose of debate. The amendment 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, and shall not be 
     subject to amendment. Points of order against the amendment 
     printed in the report for failure to comply with clause 2 of 
     rule XXI are waived. 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.

                              {time}  1900
