the motion and provides that it shall not be subject to a 
demand for division of the question. The resolution provides 
that the Senate amendments and the motion shall be considered 
as read. The resolution provides one hour of debate on the 
motion equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

           Clause 7 of rule XVI, which requires that no

        under consideration shall be admitted under color of 
        amendment.
           302(c) of the Congressional Budget Act,

        Budget Act of 1974.
           Section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget 
        Act, which prohibits consideration of legislation

        allocation of such authority.
           Section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act,

        first fiscal year to be exceeded; and
           Section 314(f) of the Congressional Budget
