  PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 3908, THE ``2000 EMERGENCY 
                   SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT''

                                _______
                                

   March 28, 2000.--Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be 
                                printed

                                _______
                                

     Mr. Goss, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 450]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 450, 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. 3908, 
the ``2000 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act,'' under 
an open rule. The rule provides one hour of general debate 
divided equally between 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 further waives all points of order 
against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with 
clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized appropriations 
or legislative provisions in a general appropriations bill) 
except as specified in the rule.
    The rule provides, prior to the consideration of any other 
amendment, for consideration of the amendments printed in Part 
A of this report, which may be offered only in the order 
printed in this report. The rule further provides for 
consideration of the amendments printed in Part B of this 
report, which may be offered only at the appropriate point in 
the reading of the bill.
    All of the amendments 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, shall not 
be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand 
for a division of the question in the House or the Committee of 
the Whole. The rule waives all points of order against the 
amendments provided in this report.
    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 Chair to accord priority in 
recognition to Members who have preprinted their amendments in 
the Congressional Record. The rule allows for 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 a fifteen 
minute vote. Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit 
with or without instructions.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes a waiver of clause 4 of rule XIII (requiring 
a three-day layover of the committee report and requiring 
three-day availability of printed hearings on a general 
appropriations bill) against consideration of the bill. While 
the report has been available for three days, the printed 
hearings regarding the emergency appropriations contained in 
this bill are not available. The blanket waiver includes a 
waiver of the following points of order that lie against 
consideration of the bill:
           section 302 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        (prohibiting consideration of legislation providing new 
        budget authority in excess of a committee's 302(a) and 
        a subcommittee's 302(b) allocation of such authority) 
        because the bill, as reported, is in excess of both the 
        committee and subcommittee allocation in budget 
        authority;
           section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        (prohibiting consideration of legislation within the 
        Budget Committee's jurisdiction, unless reported by the 
        Budget Committee) because the bill, as reported from 
        the Appropriations Committee, contains emergency 
        designations pursuant to the Emergency Deficit Control 
        Act of 1985 and other matters that fall within the 
        Budget Committee's jurisdiction;
           section 308(a) of the Congressional Budget 
        Act (requiring a Congressional Budget Office cost 
        estimate in the committee report on any legislation 
        containing new budget authority or a change in 
        revenues) because the committee report does not contain 
        the required CBO cost estimate;
           section 311(a) of the Congressional Budget 
        Act (prohibiting consideration of legislation or an 
        amendment that would cause the total level of new 
        budget authority or outlays in the most recent budget 
        resolution to be exceeded or would cause revenues to be 
        less) because the bill, as reported, is in excess of 
        the total level of new budget authority allowed under 
        the budget resolution; and
           section 401 of the Congressional Budget Act 
        (prohibiting consideration of budget-related 
        legislation, as reported, that is not subject to 
        appropriations) because the section 2201(b) of the 
        bill, relating to an annual limitation on housing 
        allowances for the Defense Department, creates a new 
        entitlement that is not subject to appropriation.
    The waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting 
unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in a 
general appropriations bill) against provisions in the bill is 
necessary because the bill contains at least 28 provisions 
which are not authorized by law and at least 54 provisions 
which are legislative in nature. These provisions are listed on 
pages 45-50 in the Appropriations Committee report (106-521). 
The bill also contains both non-emergency and emergency 
provisions which are in violation of clause 2(e) of rule XXI.
    The waiver of clause 2(e) of rule XXI (prohibiting non-
emergency designated amendments to be offered to an 
appropriations bill containing an emergency designation) 
against amendments is necessary because the Supplemental 
Appropriations bill contains numerous emergency designations 
under the Budget Act. Offering an amendment containing an 
emergency designation would in turn violate section 306 of the 
Budget Act. Consequently, in order for any amendments to be 
offered to the bill, this prohibition needs to be waived.

                            committee votes

    Pursuant to clause 3(b) of House Rule XIII the results of 
each record vote on an amendment or motion to report, together 
with the names of those voting for and against, are printed

Part A

    Sanford--Cuts $1.631 billion from various programs in the

publicly-held debt. (30 minutes)

    Fowler--Strikes language in the bill that would permit the 
$40 million to be used to fund a binding referendum, because 
national security requirements should not be set by public 
referenda and because establishing such a precedent on Vieques 
could have a potentially crippling effect on other vital 
military operations; requires that before the $40 million is 
released to Puerto Rico for economic development, the President 
must certify to the Congress that the following conditions have 
been met: (1) trespassers have been removed from the range; (2) 
that the integrity and accessibility of the range is 
uninterrupted; (3) that he has directed the Attorney General to 
strictly enforce trespassing laws on the range in the future;

to be matched by local governments 50/50. Allows CDBG funds to 
be freed up for local fire service use. (10 minutes)
    Kasich/Shays/Condit/Frank--Withholds 50% of the bill's

                               CHAPTER 5


                     GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS TITLE

  Sec. 1501. (a) Conditions on Military Assistance for 
Colombia.--
          (1) Certification.--None of the funds appropriated in 
        this title for military assistance may be made 
        available to the Government of Colombia until the

                  (A) the Government of Colombia has agreed to

                where credible evidence exists of gross 
                violations of human rights, and, if those 
                investigations result in indictments, the 
                Colombian Armed Forces are cooperating with 
                civilian authorities in prosecuting and 
                punishing such personnel in the civilian 
                courts; and

                human rights.

title--
          (1) up to $1,500,000 shall be made available to

        Forces to investigate reports of gross violations of 
        human rights involving United States assistance; and
          (3) up to $250,000 shall be made available to enhance 
        the United States Embassy's capabilities to monitor the

Colombian Self Defense organization (AUC), including conspiracy 
to allow, facilitate, or promote the illegal activities of such 
groups.
  (b) Exemption.--Subsection (a) shall not apply if the 
Secretary of State finds, on a case-by-case basis, that the 
entry into the United States of a person who would otherwise be 
excluded under this section is necessary for medical reasons, 
or to permit the prosecution of such person in the United 
States, or the person has cooperated fully with the
