DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS
Committee on Rules: Granted, by voice vote, an open rule on H.R. 3338, 
making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year 
ending September 30, 2002, providing one hour of general debate equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Appropriations. The rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill. The rule provides that the bill shall be 
considered for amendment by paragraph. The rule provides that the amendment 
printed in the Rules Committee report accompanying the resolution shall be 
considered as adopted. The rule waives points of order against provisions in 
the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI 
(prohibiting unauthorized or legislative provisions in a general 
appropriations bill or prohibiting reappropriations in a general 
appropriations bill), except as specified in the rule. The rule waives 
points of order during consideration of the bill against amendments for 
failure to comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI (prohibiting non-emergency 
designated amendments to be offered to an appropriations bill containing an 
emergency designation). The rule authorizes the Chairman of the Committee of 
the Whole to accord priority in recognition to Members who have pre-printed 
their amendments in the Congressional Record. Finally, the rule provides one 
motion to recommit with or without instructions. Testimony was heard from
