 Mr. Diaz-Balart, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 247]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 247, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                  summary of provisions of resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 2415, 
the ``American Embassy Security Act of 1999,'' under a 
structured rule. The rule provides 1 hour of general debate 
divided equally between the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on International Relations.
    The rule provides that before consideration of any other 
amendment it shall be in order to consider the first amendment 
printed in part A of this report, if offered by Representative 
Gilman or his designee, which shall be considered as read, 
shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
the Whole waives all points of order against that amendment.
    The rule also provides that no further amendment to the 
bill shall be in order except those printed in this report and 
the amendments en bloc described in section 2 of the 
resolution. The rule provides that each amendment may be 
offered only in the order printed in this report, may be 
offered only by a Member designated in this report, shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified 
in this report equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment except as 
specified in this report, and shall not be subject to a demand 
for division of the question in the House or in the Committee 
of the Whole.
    The rule authorizes the chairman of the Committee on 
International Relations or his designee to offer amendments en 
bloc consisting of amendments printed in part B of this report 
or germane modifications of any such amendment, which shall be 
considered as read (except that modifications shall be 
reported), shall be debatable for 20 minutes equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on International Relations or their designees, 
shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to 
a demand for division of the question.
    The rule allows the chairman of the Committee of the Whole 
to postpone votes during consideration of the bill and to 
reduce voting time to five minutes on a postponed question if 
the vote follows as fifteen minute vote.
    The rule provides one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions. The rule further provides that after passage of 
H.R. 2415, it shall be in order to take from the Speaker's 
table the bill S. 886 and to consider the Senate bill in the 
House. The rule waives all points of order against the Senate 
bill and against its consideration. Finally, the rule provides 
that it shall be in order to move to strike all after the 
enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu 
thereof the provisions of H.R. 2415 as passed by the House, and 
the rule waives all points of order against that motion.
    The waiver of all points of order against the first 
amendment printed in Part A of this report includes a waiver of 
clause 7 of rule XVI (prohibiting nongermane amendments). This 
waiver is necessary because provisions in Title XV of the 
Manager's amendment, relating to the authority to exempt India 
and Pakistan from certain sanctions, are not germane to the 
bill.
    Summary of Amendments Made in Order to H.R. 2415, The 
American Embassy Security Act of 1999:

                                 PART A

    1. Gilman (#42): Manager's Amendment--to be 
Considered Original Text for Amendment Purposes if Adopted. 
Provides that out of funds authorized for U.S. voluntary 
contributions to international organizations, $110 million is 
authorized for a contribution to the United Nations Children's 
fund (UNICEF); authorizes $15 million (the amount in the 
Administration's budget request and in the Committee-reported 
Foreign Relations Authorizations Act) for a grant to the Asia 
foundation; amends the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring 
Act of 1998 to provide that transfers pursuant to the 
reorganization of the State Department shall not adversely 
affect the relative positions of women and minorities within 
the administrative structures of the agencies being 
consolidated; amends section 402 of the bill, which requires 
the inclusion in U.S. international exchange programs of 
persons committed to freedom and democracy, to make clear that 
care should be taken not to endanger the personal safety of 
such persons, and to provide that governments who deny freedom 
and democracy should not be given inappropriate influence in 
the conduct of U.S. exchange programs; requires periodic 
reports on the investigation into the March 30, 1997 grenade 
attack in Cambodia that killed 17 democracy activists and 
wounded an American citizen; adds a new Division B, the 
Security Assistance Act of 1999 (identical to H.R. 973 which 
passed the House under suspension of the rules on June 15, 
1999) which modifies authorities with respect to the provision 
of security assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 
and the Arms Export Control Act. (10 minutes)

Hague. (10 minutes)
    35. Andrews/Rohrabacher/Deutsch/McNulty/Calvert/Wu/

should help defend Taiwan in the event of a military attack 
from China. (20 minutes)

    TITLE XIV--INTERNATIONAL ARMS SALES CODE OF CONDUCT ACT OF 1999

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

  This title may be cited as the ``International Arms Sales 
Code of Conduct Act of 1999''.

SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

  The Congress finds the following:
          (1) The proliferation of conventional arms and 
        conflicts around the globe are multilateral problems. 
        The only way to effectively prevent rogue nations from 
        acquiring conventional weapons is through a 
        multinational ``arms sales code of conduct''.
          (2) Approximately 40,000,000 people, over 75 percent 
        of whom were civilians, died as a result of civil and 
        international wars fought with conventional weapons 
        during the 45 years of the cold war, demonstrating that 
        conventional weapons can in fact be weapons of mass 
        destruction.
          (3) Conflict has actually increased in the post cold 
        war era.
          (4) It is in the national security and economic 
        interests of the United States to reduce dramatically 
        the $840,000,000,000 that all countries spend on armed 
        forces every year, $191,000,000,000 of which is spent 
        by developing countries, an amount equivalent to 4 
        times the total bilateral and multilateral foreign 
        assistance such countries receive every year.
          (5) The Congress has the constitutional 
        responsibility to participate with the executive branch 
        in decisions to provide military assistance and arms 
        transfers to a foreign government, and in the 
        formulation of a policy designed to reduce dramatically 
        the level of international militarization.
          (6) A decision to provide military assistance and 
        arms transfers to a government that is undemocratic, 
        does not adequately protect human rights, or is 
        currently engaged in acts of armed aggression should 
        require a higher level of scrutiny than does a decision 
        to provide such assistance and arms transfers to a 
        government to which these conditions do not apply.

SEC. 1403. INTERNATIONAL ARMS SALES CODE OF CONDUCT.

  (a) Negotiations.--The President shall attempt to achieve the 
foreign policy goal of an international arms sales code of 
conduct with all Wassenaar Arrangement countries. The President 
shall take the necessary steps to begin negotiations with all 
Wassenaar Arrangement countries within 120 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act. The purpose of these negotiations 
shall be to conclude an agreement on restricting or prohibiting 
arms transfers to countries that do not meet the following

                and spending of all law enforcement and 
                security institutions, as well as the armed 
                forces;
                  (C) promotes the rule of law, equality before 
                the law, and respect for individual and 
                minority rights, including freedom to speak, 
                publish, associate, and organize; and
                  (D) promotes the strengthening of political, 
                legislative, and civil institutions of 
                democracy, as well as autonomous institutions

                        ethnicity, religion, gender, national 
                        origin, or political affiliation; and

                  (C) permits access on a regular basis to

                  (D) promotes the independence of the 
                judiciary and other official bodies that 
                oversee the protection of human rights;
                  (E) does not impede the free functioning of 
                domestic and international human rights 
                organizations; and

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) It is the long-standing policy of the United 
        States Government to deny requests for the retransfer 
        of significant military equipment that originated in 
        the United States to private entities.
          (2) In very exceptional circumstances, when the 
        United States public interest would be served by the 
        proposed retransfer and end-use, such requests may be 
        favorably considered.
          (3) Such retransfers to private entities have been 
        authorized in very exceptional circumstances following 
        appropriate demilitarization and receipt of assurances 
        from the private entity that the item to be transferred 
        would be used solely in furtherance of Federal 
        Government contracts or for static museum display.
          (4) Nothing in this section should be construed as a 
        revision of long-standing policy referred to in 
        paragraph (1).
          (5) The Government of Greece has requested the 
        consent of the United States Government to the 
        retransfer of HS Rodos (ex-U.S.S. Bowman County (LST 
        391)) to the USS LST Ship Memorial, Inc.
  (b) Authority To Consent to Retransfer.--
          (1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), the 
        President may consent to the retransfer by the 
        Government of Greece of HS Rodos (ex-U.S.S. Bowman 
        County (LST 391)) to the USS LST Ship Memorial, Inc.
          (2) Conditions for consent.--The President should not 
        exercise the authority under paragraph (1) unless USS 
        LST Memorial, Inc.--
                  (A) utilizes the vessel for public, 
                nonprofit, museum-related purposes;
                  (B) submits a certification with the import 
                application that no firearms frames or 
                receivers, ammunition, or other firearms as 
                defined in section 5845 of the National 
                Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. 5845) will be imported 
                with the vessel; and
                  (C) complies with regulatory policy 
                requirements related to the facilitation of 
                monitoring by the Federal Government of, and 
                the mitigation of potential environmental 
                hazards associated with, aging vessels, and has

     23. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Gejdenson of 
          Connecticut, or a Designee, Debatable for 10 Minutes

  Page 84, after line 16, insert the following:

SEC. 703. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING COLOMBIA.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Colombia is a democratic country fighting 
        multiple wars--
                  (A) a war against the Colombian Revolutionary 
                Armed Forces (FARC);
                  (B) a war against the National Liberation 
                Army (ELN);
                  (C) a war against the United Self-Defense 
                Forces of Colombia (AUC) and other paramilitary 
                organizations; and
                  (D) a war against drug lords who traffic in 
                deadly cocaine and heroin.
          (2) In 1998 alone, 308,000 Colombians were internally 
        displaced in Colombia. Over the last decade, 35,000 
        Colombians have been killed.
          (3) The operations of the FARC, ELN, AUC, and other 
        extragovernmental forces have profited from, and become 
        increasingly dependent upon, cooperation with the 
        illicit narcotics trade.
          (4) The FARC and ELN have waged the longest-running 
        anti-government insurgencies in Latin America and 
        control roughly 60 percent of the country, including a 
        demilitarized zone ruled by the FARC.
          (5) Representatives of the Government of Colombia and 
        the FARC are scheduled to begin peace talks on July 20, 
        1999.
  (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that--
          (1) the United States should recognize the crisis in 
        Colombia and play a more pro-active role in its 
        resolution, including offering U.S. political support 
        to help Colombia with the peace process;
          (2) all extragovernmental combatant groups, including 
        the FARC, ELN, and AUC, should demonstrate their 
        commitment to peace by ceasing to engage in violence, 
        kidnapping, and cooperation with the drug trade; and
          (3) the United States should mobilize the 
        international community to pro-actively engage in 
        resolving the Colombian wars.
                              ----------                              


24. An Amendment To Be Offered by Representative Bereuter of Nebraska, 
                or a Designee, Debatable for 20 Minutes

  Page 84, after line 16, add the following (and make such 
technical and conforming changes as may be necessary):

SEC. 703. SELF-DETERMINATION IN EAST TIMOR.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
          (1) On May 5, 1999, the Government of Indonesia and 
        the Government of Portugal signed an agreement that 
        provides for a vote on the political status of East 
        Timor to be held on August 8, 1999, under the auspices 
        of the United Nations.
          (2) On June 22, 1999, the vote was rescheduled for 
        August 21 or 22, 1999, because of concerns that the 
        conditions necessary for a free and fair vote could not 
        be established prior to August 8, 1999.
          (3) On January 27, 1999, Indonesian President Habibie 
        expressed a willingness to consider independence for 
        East Timor if a majority of the East Timorese reject 
        autonomy in the August 1999 vote.
          (4) Under the agreement between the Governments of 
        Indonesia and Portugal, the Government of Indonesia is 
        responsible for ensuring that the August 1999 vote is 
        carried out in a fair and peaceful way and in an 
        atmosphere free of intimidation, violence, or 
        interference.
          (5) The inclusion of anti-independence militia 
        members in Indonesian forces that are responsible for 
        establishing security in East Timor violates this 
        agreement because the agreement states that the 
        absolute neutrality of the military and police is 
        essential for holding a free and fair vote.
          (6) The arming of anti-independence militias by 
        members of the Indonesian military for the purpose of 
        sabotaging the August 1999 ballot has resulted in 
        hundreds of civilians killed, injured, or missing in 
        separate attacks by these militias and these militias 
        continue to act without restraint.
          (7) The United Nations Secretary General has received 
        credible reports of political violence, including 
        intimidation and killing, by armed anti-independence 
        militias against unarmed pro-independence civilians in 
        East Timor.
          (8) There have been killings of opponents of 
        independence for East Timor, including civilians and 
        militia members.
          (9) The killings in East Timor should be fully 
        investigated and the individuals responsible brought to 
        justice.
          (10) Access to East Timor by international human 
        rights monitors and humanitarian organizations is 
        limited and members of the press have been threatened.
          (11) The presence of members of the United Nations 
        Assistance Mission in East Timor has already resulted 
        in an improved security environment in the East 
        Timorese capital of Dili.
          (12) A robust international observer mission and 
        police force throughout East Timor is critical to 
        creating a stable and secure environment necessary for 
        a free and fair vote.
          (13) The Administration should be commended for its 
        support for the United Nations Assistance Mission in 
        East Timor which will provide monitoring and support 
        for the ballot and include international civilian 
        police, military liaison officers, and election 
        monitors.
  (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that--
          (1) the President and the Secretary of State should 
        immediately intensify their efforts to prevail upon the 
        Indonesian Government and military--
                  (A) to disarm and disband anti-independence 
                militias in East Timor;
                  (B) to grant full access to East Timor by 
                international human rights monitors, 
                humanitarian organizations, and the press; and
                  (C) to allow Timorese who have been living in 
                exile to return to East Timor to participate in 
                the vote on the political status of East Timor 
                to be held on August 1999 under the auspices of 
                the United Nations; and
          (2) not later than 21 days after the date of the 
        enactment of this Act, the President should prepare and 
        transmit to the Congress a report that contains a 
        description of the efforts of the Administration, and 
        an assessment of the steps taken by the Indonesian 
        Government and military, to ensure a stable and secure 
        environment in East Timor for the vote on the political 
        status of East Timor, including an assessment of the 
        steps taken in accordance with subparagraphs (A), (B), 
        and (C) of paragraph (1).

        commodities or services, or defense articles or defense 
        services, of a type that are not produced in, and 
        available for purchase from, the United States, less 
        developed countries, or the country in which the

SEC. 703. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO LINDA SHENWICK.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Linda Shenwick, an employee of the Department of 
        State, in the performance of her duties, informed the 
        Congress of waste, fraud, and mismanagement at the 
        United Nations.
          (2) Ms. Shenwick is being persecuted by Secretary of 
        State Madeleine Albright and other State Department 
        officials who have removed her from her current 
        position at the United Nations and withheld her salary.
          (3) Ms. Shenwick was even blocked from entering her 
        office at the United States Mission to the United 
        Nations to retrieve her personal effects unless 
        accompanied by an armed guard.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
employees of the Department of State who, in the performance of 
their duties, inform the Congress of pertinent facts concerning 
their responsibilities, should not as a result be demoted or 
removed from their current position or from Federal employment.

                    AND THE RELEASE OF LORI BERENSON, AN AMERICAN 
                    CITIZEN IMPRISONED IN PERU.

  It is the sense of the Congress that--
          (1) the United States should increase its support to 
        democracy and human rights activists in Peru, providing 
        assistance with the same intensity and decisiveness 
        with which it supported the pro-democracy movements in 
        Eastern Europe during the Cold War;
          (2) the United States should complete the review of 
        the Department of State investigation of threats to 
        press freedom and judicial independence in Peru and 
        publish the findings;
          (3) the United States should use all available 
        diplomatic efforts to secure the release of Lori 
        Berenson, an American citizen who was accused of being 
        a terrorist, denied the opportunity to defend herself 
        of the charges, allowed no witnesses to speak in her 
        defense, allowed no time to privately consult with her 
        lawyer, and declared guilty by a hooded judge in a 
        military court; and
          (4) in deciding whether to provide economic and other 
        forms of assistance to Peru, the United States should 
        take into consideration the willingness of Peru to 
        assist in the release of Lori Berenson.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) Since its creation in 1948, Israel has fulfilled 
        the dreams of its founders who envisioned a vigorous, 
        open, and stable democracy.
          (2) The centerpiece of Israeli democracy is its 
        system of competitive and free elections.
          (3) On May 17, 1999, the Israeli people--Israeli Jews 
        and Israeli Arabs-- went to the polls in large numbers 
        in a remarkably peaceful election.

SEC. 703. SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT THE PRESIDENT SHOULD SEEK A PUBLIC 
                    RENUNCIATION BY THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA OF 
                    ANY USE OF FORCE, OR THREAT TO USE FORCE, AGAINST 
                    TAIWAN, AND THAT THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HELP 
                    TAIWAN IN CASE OF THREATS OR A MILITARY ATTACK BY 
                    THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) In March of 1996, the political leadership of the 
        People's Republic of China used provocative military 
        maneuvers, including missile launch exercises in the 
        Taiwan Strait, in an attempt to intimidate the people 
        of Taiwan during their historic, free, and democratic 
        presidential elections.
          (2) The People's Republic of China refuses to 
        renounce the use of force against Taiwan.
          (3) The House of Representatives passed a resolution 
        by a vote of 411-0 in June 1998 urging the President to 
        seek, during his July 1998 summit meeting in Beijing, a 
        public renunciation by the People's Republic of China 
        of any use of force, or threat of use of force, against 
        democratic Taiwan.
          (4) Senior United States executive branch officials 
        have called upon the People's Republic of China to 
        renounce the use of force against Taiwan.
          (5) The use of force, and the threat to use force, by 
        the People's Republic of China against Taiwan threatens 
        peace and stability in the region.
          (6) The Taiwan Relations Act, enacted in 1979, states 
        that ``[i]t is the policy of the United States . . . to 
        consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan 
        by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or 
        embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the 
        Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United 
        States''.
          (7) The Taiwan Relations Act states that it is the 
        policy of the United States to provide Taiwan with arms 
        of a defensive character.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--
          (1) The Congress commends the people of Taiwan for 
        having established a democracy in Taiwan over the past 
        decades and repeatedly reaffirming their dedication to 
        democratic ideals.
          (2) It is the sense of the Congress that--
                  (A) the President of the United States should 
                seek a public renunciation by the People's 
                Republic of China of any use of force, or 
                threat to use force, against Taiwan, especially 
                in Taiwan's March 2000 free Presidential 
                elections; and
                  (B) the United States should help Taiwan 
                defend itself in case of threats or a military 
                attack by the People's Republic of China 
                against Taiwan.

  (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) At the conclusion of the NATO campaign to halt 
        the Serbian and Yugoslav ethnic cleansing in Kosova, a 
        large, but undetermined number of Kosovar Albanians 
        held in Serbian prisons in Kosova were taken from 
        Kosova before and during the withdrawal of Serbian and 
        Yugoslav police and military forces from Kosova.
          (2) Serbian Justice Minister Dragoljub Jankovic has 
        admitted that 1,860 prisoners were brought to Serbia 
        from Kosova on June 10, 1999, the day Serbian and 
        Yugoslav police and military forces began their 
        withdrawal from Kosova.
          (3) International humanitarian organizations, 
        including the International Committee of the Red Cross 
        (ICRC) and Human Rights Watch, have expressed serious 
        concern with the detention of Kosovar Albanians in 
        prisons in Serbia.
          (4) On June 25, 1999, Serbia released 166 of the 
        detained Kosovar Albanian prisoners to the ICRC.

        Europe, the United States and Canada, adopted a 
        resolution calling upon Serbia and Yugoslavia, in 
        accordance with international humanitarian law, to 
        grant full, immediate and ongoing ICRC access to all 
        prisoners held in relation to the Kosova crisis, to 
        ensure the humane treatment of such prisoners, and to

  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that--
          (1) the Serbian and Yugoslav Governments should

        their prisons and treat them in accordance with all 
        applicable international standards;
          (2) the ICRC should be given full, immediate, and

          (2) The International Red Cross and Red Crescent 
        Movement is a worldwide institution in which all 
        National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have 
        equal status and share equal responsibilities.
          (3) The state of Israel has ratified the Geneva 
        Conventions which govern the International Red Cross 
        and Red Crescent Movement.
          (4) The Magen David Adom Society is the national 
        humanitarian society in the state of Israel.
          (5) The Magen David Adom Society follows all the 
        principles of the International Red Cross and Red 
        Crescent Movement.
          (6) Since the founding of the Magen David Adom 
        Society in 1930, the American Red Cross has regarded it 
        as a sister national society and close working ties 
        have been established between the two societies.
          (7) The Magen David Adom Society is excluded from 
        full membership in the International Conference of the 
        Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement solely because the 
        Society is not an official protective symbol recognized 
        by either the Geneva Conventions governing the 
        International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement or 
        the Statutes of the International Red Cross and Red 
        Crescent Movement.
          (8) During the past 25 years the American Red Cross 
        has consistently advocated recognition and membership 
        of the Magen David Adom Society in the International 
        Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
          (9) The state of Israel has unsuccessfully tried in 
        the past to amend the Geneva Conventions to allow for 
        the emblematic recognition of the Magen David Adom 
        Society.
          (10) Recognition of the Magen David Adom Society in 
        Israel as a member of the International Red Cross and 
        Red Crescent Movement would help fortify the spirit of 
        goodwill in the Middle East peace process.
  (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that--
          (1) the President should, at the earliest possible 
        date, enlist the cooperation of all nations that are 
        signatory to the Geneva Conventions to ensure that the 
        recognition of the Magen David Adom Society in Israel 
        as a full member of the International Red Cross and Red 
        Crescent Movement is resolved at the forthcoming 27th 
        International Conference of the Red Cross and Red 
        Crescent; and
          (2) the President should support a resolution by that 
        Conference requesting the International Committee of 
        the Red Cross to waive on an exceptional basis the 5th 
        condition of recognition in article 4 of its Statutes 
        of the Movement, thus enabling the full participation 
        of the Magen David Adom Society as a member of the 
        International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

                               RESOLUTION


Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2415) to enhance security 
    of United States missions and personnel overseas, to authorize 
 appropriations for the Department of State for fiscal year 2000, and 
                          for other purposes.

    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. 2415) to enhance security of United States missions 
and personnel overseas, to authorize appropriations for the 
Department of State for fiscal year 2000, and for other 
purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
with. 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 
International Relations. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill 
shall be considered as read. Before consideration of any other 
amendment it shall be in order to consider the first amendment 
printed in part A of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution, if offered by Representative 
Gilman or his designee. That amendment shall be considered as 
read, shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of 
the Whole. All points of order against that amendment are 
waived. After disposition of that amendment, the provisions of 
the bill as then amended shall be considered as original text 
for the purpose of further amendment under the five-minute 
rule. No further amendment to the bill shall be in order except 
those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution and amendments en bloc described 
in section 2 of this resolution. Each amendment printed in the 
report of the Committee on Rules may be offered only in the

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, shall not be 
subject to amendment except as specified in the report, and

in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. The Chairman of 
the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time 
during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole 
request for a recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to 
five minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any 
postponed question that follows another electronic vote without 
intervening business, provided that the minimum time for 
electronic voting on the first in any series of questions shall 
be 15 minutes. 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.
    Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman 
of the Committee on International Relations or his designee to 
offer amendments en bloc consisting of amendments printed in 
part B of the report of the Committee on Rules not earlier 
disposed of or germane modifications of any such amendment. 
Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this section shall be 
considered as read (except that modifications shall be 
reported), shall be debatable for 20 minutes equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on International Relations or their designees, 
shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to 
a demand for division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee on the Whole. For the purpose of inclusion in such 
amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the form of a 
motion to strike may be modified to the form of a germane 
perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be 
stricken. The original proponent of an amendment included in 
such amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the 
Congressional Record immediately before the disposition of the 
amendments en bloc.
    Sec. 3. After passage of H.R. 2415, it shall be in order to 
take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 886 and to consider 
the Senate bill in the House. All points of order against the 
Senate bill and against its consideration are waived. It shall 
be in order to move to strike all after the enacting clause of 
the Senate bill and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions of 
H.R. 2415 as passed by the House. All points of order against 
that motion are waived.
