                          ``CONGRESSIONAL DISAPPROVAL''

                              PROVISIONS CONTAINED

                                 IN PUBLIC LAWS

        ``CONGRESSIONAL DISAPPROVAL'' PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN PUBLIC LAWS

    Sec. 1013.

      Congress has,  from time to time, passed laws
    reserving to itself an absolute or limited right of review by approval
    or disapproval of certain actions of the Executive Branch or of
    independent agencies. These laws, known as ``Congressional disapproval''
    statutes, usually envision some form of Congressional action falling
    into one of three general categories: (1) action by both Houses of
    Congress on a bill or joint resolution requiring Presidential signature;
    (2) action by one or both Houses of Congress on a simple or concurrent
    resolution; and (3) action by a Congressional committee. Although
    provisions in the first category remain viable, provisions in the latter
    two categories should be read in light of Immigration and Naturalization
    Service v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983). In that case the Supreme Court
    held unconstitutional as in violation of the ``presentment clause'' of
    article I, section 7, and the doctrine of separation of powers the
    provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act contemplating
    disapproval of a decision of the Attorney General to allow an otherwise
    deportable alien to remain in the United States by simple resolution of
    one House. That same year, the Supreme Court summarily affirmed several
    lower court decisions invalidating provisions contemplating disapproval
    of executive actions by methods described in both categories (2) and (3)
    above. 463 U.S. 1216 (1983). Since then, Congress has amended several
    ``Congressional disapproval'' statutes to convert provisions requiring
    simple or concurrent resolutions to provisions requiring joint
    resolutions.

    [[Page 986]]
    theless, because the House retains the Constitutional right to change
    its rules at any time, the Committee on Rules may report a resolution
    varying the statutorily prescribed procedures for the House.
      Many ``Congressional disapproval'' statutes prescribe special
    procedures for the House to follow when reviewing Executive actions.
    These procedures, termed ``privileged procedures,'' technically are
    rules of the House, enacted expressly or impliedly as an exercise of the
    House's rulemaking authority. At the beginning of each Congress, it is
    customary for the House to re-incorporate by reference in the resolution
    adopting its rules such ``Congressional disapproval'' procedures as may
    exist in current law. Never

      Other ``Congressional disapproval'' statutes prescribe no special
    procedures for the consideration of Executive actions. As a result,
    those statutes contain no provisions that technically are rules of the
    House; and thus they are not carried in this Manual. For a recent
    listing of those statutes, see the House Rules and Manual for the 102d
    Congress (H. Doc. 101-256).

      Below is a compilation of the various provisions in ``Congressional
    disapproval'' statutes setting forth ``privileged procedures'' to be
    followed by the House when considering Executive actions, together with

                         Sec. 903. reorganization plans

      (a) Whenever the President, after investigation, finds that changes in
    the organization of agencies are necessary to carry out any policy set
    forth in section 901(a) of this title, he shall prepare a reorganization
    plan specifying the reorganizations he finds are necessary. Any plan may
    provide for--

              (1) the transfer of the whole or a part of an agency, or of

            the whole or a part of the functions thereof, to the

            jurisdiction and control of another agency;

              (2) the abolition of all or a part of the functions of an

    [[Page 988]]
            of an agency, or of the whole part of the func

            functions thereof;

              (4) the consolidation or coordination of a part of an agency

            functions; or

              (6) the abolition of the whole or a part of an agency which

            agency or part does not have, or on the taking effect of the

            reorganization plan will not have, any functions.
    The President shall transmit the plan (bearing an identification number)
    to the Congress together with a declaration that, with respect to each
    reorganization included in the plan, he has found that the
    reorganization is necessary to carry out any policy set forth in section
    901(a) of this title.

      (b) The President shall have a reorganization plan delivered to both
    Houses on the same day and to each House while it is in session, except
    that no more than three plans may be pending before the Congress at one
    time. In his message transmitting a reorganization plan, the President
    shall specify with respect to each abolition of a function included in
    the plan the statutory authority for the exercise of the function. The
    message shall also estimate any reduction or increase in expenditures
    (itemized so far as practicable), and describe any improvements in
    management, delivery of Federal services, execution of the laws, and
    increases in efficiency of Government operations, which it is expected
    will be realized as a result of the reorganizations included in the
    plan. In addition, the President's message shall include an
    implementation section which shall (1) describe in detail (A) the
    actions necessary or planned to complete the reorganization, (B) the
    anticipated nature and substance of any orders, directives, and other
    administrative and operational actions which are expected to be required
    for completing or implementing the reorganization, and (C) any
    preliminary actions which have been taken in the implementation process,
    and (2) contain a projected timetable for completion of the
    implementation process. The President shall also submit such further
    background or other information as the Congress may require for its
    consideration of the plan.

    [[Page 989]]
    scribed in section 909 has been ordered reported in either House, the
    President may make amendments or modifications to the plan, consistent
    with sections 903-905 of this title, which modifications or revisions
    shall thereafter be treated as a part of the reorganization plan
    originally transmitted and shall not affect in any way the time limits
    otherwise provided for in this chapter. The President may withdraw the
    plan any time prior to the conclusion of 90 calendar days of continuous
    session of Congress following the date on which the plan is submitted to
    Congress.

      (c) Any time during the period of 60 calendar days of continuous
    session of Congress after the date on which the plan is transmitted to
    it, but before any resolution de

                         Sec. 905. limitations on powers

      (a) A reorganization plan may not provide for, and a reorganization
    under this chapter may not have the effect of--

              (1) creating a new executive department or renaming an

            existing executive department, abolishing or transferring an

            executive department or independent regulatory agency, or all

            the functions thereof, or consolidating two or more executive

            departments or two or more independent regulatory agencies, or

            all the functions thereof;

              (2) continuing an agency beyond the period authorized by law

            for its existence or beyond the time when it would have

            terminated if the reorganization had not been made;

              (3) continuing a function beyond the period authorized by law

            for its exercise or beyond the time when it would have

            terminated if the reorganization had not been made;

              (4) authorizing an agency to exercise a function which is not

            expressly authorized by law at the time the plan is transmitted

            to Congress;

              (5) creating a new agency which is not a component or part of

            an existing executive department or independent agency;

              (6) increasing the term of an office beyond that provided by

            law for the office; or

              (7) dealing with more than one logically consistent subject

            matter.

    accordance with section 903(b) of this chapter) on or before December
    31, 1984.

      (b) A provision contained in a reorganization plan may take effect
    only if the plan in transmitted to Congress (in

        Sec. 906. effective date and publication of reorganization plans

      (a) Except as provided under subsection (c) of this section, a
    reorganization plan shall be effective upon approval by the President of
    a resolution (as defined in section 909) with respect to such plan, if
    such resolution is passed by the House of Representatives and the
    Senate, within the first period of 90 calendar days of continuous
    session of Congress after the date on which the plan is transmitted to
    Congress. Failure of either House to act upon such resolution by the end
    of such period shall be the same as disapproval of the resolution.

      (b) For the purpose of this chapter--

              (1) continuity of session is broken only by an adjournment of

            Congress sine die; and

              (2) the days on which either House is not in session because

            of an adjournment of more than three days to a day certain are

            excluded in the computation of any period of time in which

            Congress is in continuous session.

      (c) Under provisions contained in a reorganization plan, any provision
    thereof may be effective at a time later than the date on which the plan
    otherwise is effective.

      (d) A reorganization plan which is effective shall be printed (1) in
    the Statutes at Large in the same volume as the public laws and (2) in
    the Federal Register.

                                      plans

      Sections 909 through 912 of this title are enacted by Congress--

              (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

            the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they are

            deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but

            applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in

            that House in the case of resolutions with respect to any

            reorganization plans transmitted to Congress (in accordance with

    [[Page 991]]
            section 903(b) of this chapter) on or be

            fore December 31, 1984; and they supersede other rules only to the

            extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and

              (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of

            either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the

            procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to

            the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

                          Sec. 909. terms of resolution

      For the purpose of sections 908 through 912 of this title,
    ``resolution'' means only a joint resolution of the Congress, the matter
    after the resolving clause of which is as follows: ``That the ------
    Congress approves the reorganization plan numbered ------ transmitted to
    the Congress by the President on ------, 19--.'', and includes such
    modifications and revisions as submitted by the President under section
    903(c) of this chapter. The blank spaces therein are to be filled
    appropriately. The term does not include a resolution which specifies
    more than one reorganization plan.

               Sec. 910. introduction and reference of resolution

      (a) No later than the first day of session following the day on which
    a reorganization plan is transmitted to the House of Representatives and
    the Senate under section 903, a resolution, as defined in section 909,
    shall be introduced (by request) in the House by the chairman of the
    Committee on Government Reform and Oversight of the House, or by a
    Member of Members of the House designated by such chairman; and shall be
    introduced (by request) in the Senate by the chairman of the
    Governmental Affairs Committee of the Senate, or by a Member or Members
    of the Senate designated by such chairman.

    [[Page 992]]
    calendar days of continuous session of Congress following the date of
    such resolution's introduction.

      (b) A resolution with respect to a reorganization plan shall be
    referred to the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the
    Committee on Government Reform and Oversight of the House (and all
    resolutions with respect to the same plan shall be referred to the same
    committee) by the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of
    Representatives, as the case may be. The committee shall make its
    recommendations to the House of Representatives or the Senate,
    respectively, within 75

             Sec. 911. discharge of committee considering resolution

    Sec. 912. procedure after report or discharge of committee; debate; vote
      If the committee to which is referred a resolution introduced pursuant
    to subsection (a) of section 910 (or, in the absence of such a
    resolution, the first resolution introduced with respect to the same
    reorganization plan) has not reported such resolution or identical
    resolution at the end of 75 calendar days of continuous session of
    Congress after its introduction, such committee shall be deemed to be
    discharged from further consideration of such resolution and such
    resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar of the House
    involved.

                                on final passage

      (a) When the committee has reported, or has been deemed to be
    discharged (under section 911) from further consideration of, a
    resolution with respect to a reorganization plan, it is at any time
    thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect
    has been disagreed to) for any Member of the respective House to move to
    proceed to the consideration of the resolution. The motion is highly
    privileged and is not debatable. The motion shall not be subject to
    amendment, or to a motion to postpone, or a motion to proceed to the
    consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider the vote by
    which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not be in order. If
    a motion to proceed to the consideration of the resolution is agreed to,
    the resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the respective
    House until disposed of.

    [[Page 993]]

      (b) Debate on the resolution, and on all debatable motions and appeals
    in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than ten hours,
    which shall be divided equally between individuals favoring and
    individuals opposing the resolution. A motion further to limit debate is
    in order and not debatable. An amendment to, or a motion to postpone, or
    a motion to proceed to the consideration of other business, or a motion
    to recommit the resolution is not in order. A motion to reconsider the
    vote by which the resolution is passed or rejected shall not be in
    order.

      (c) Immediately following the conclusion of the debate on the
    resolution with respect to a reorganization plan, and a single quorum
    call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in accordance with the
    rules of the appropriate House, the vote on final passage of the
    resolution shall occur.

      (d) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives,
    as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution with
    respect to a reorganization plan shall be decided without debate.

      (e) If, prior to the passage by one House of a resolution of that
    House, that House receives a resolution with respect to the same
    reorganization plan from the other House, then--

              ``(1) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no

            resolution had been received from the other House; but

              ``(2) the vote on final passage shall be on the resolution of

            the other House.''

      Section 905(b) was amended by Public Law 98-614 to terminate the
    authority of the President to submit reorganization plans under this
    statute on December 31, 1984. These provisions are carried in this
    compilation because other Acts have incorporated their procedures by
    reference.

             2. War Powers Act, Secs. 5-7 [50 U.S.C. 1544-1546]

      Sec. 5. (a) Each report submitted pursuant to section 4(a)(1) shall be
    transmitted to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the
    President pro tempore of the Senate on the same calendar day. Each
    report so transmitted shall be referred to the Committee on
    International Relations of the House of Representatives and to the
    Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate for appropriate action. If,
    when the report is transmitted, the Congress has adjourned sine die or
    has adjourned for any period in excess of three calendar days, the
    Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of
    the Senate, if they deem if advisable (or if petitioned by at least 30
    percent of the membership of their respective Houses) shall jointly

    was submitted (or required to be submitted), unless the Congress (1) has
    declared war or has enacted a specific authorization for such use of
    United States Armed Forces, (2) has extended by law such sixty-day
    period, or (3) is physically unable to meet as a result of an armed
    attack upon the United States. Such sixty-day period shall be extended
    for not more than an additional thirty days if the President determines
    and certifies to the Congress in writing that unavoidable military
    necessity respecting the safety of United States Armed Forces requires
    the continued use of such armed forces in the course of bringing about a
    prompt removal of such forces.

    required to be submitted pursuant to section 4(a)(1), whichever is
    earlier, the President shall terminate

      (c) Notwithstanding subsection (b), at any time that United States
    Armed Forces are engaged in hostilities outside the territory of the
    United States, its possessions and territories without a declaration of
    war or specific statutory authorization, such forces shall be removed by
    the President if the Congress so directs by concurrent resolution.

      This subsection (and section 7, infra) should be read in light of INS
    v. Chadha, 462 U.S. 919 (1983).

      Sec. 6. (a) Any joint resolution or bill introduced pursuant to
    section 5(b) at least thirty calendar days before the expiration of the
    sixty-day period specified in such section shall be referred to the
    Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives or
    the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, as the case may be,
    and such committee shall report one such joint resolution or bill,
    together with its recommendations, not later than twenty-four calendar
    days before the expiration of the sixty-day period specified in such
    section, unless such House shall otherwise determine by the yeas and
    nays.

      (b) Any joint resolution or bill so reported shall become the pending
    business of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the time
    for debate shall be equally divided between the proponents and the

      (c) Such a joint resolution or bill passed by one House shall be
    referred to the committee of the other House named in subsection (a) and
    shall be reported out not later than fourteen calendar days before the
    expiration of the sixty-day period specified in section 5(b). The joint

      (d) In the case of any disagreement between the two Houses of Congress
    with respect to a joint resolution or bill passed by both Houses,
    conferees shall be promptly appointed and the committee of conference
    shall make and file a report with respect to such resolution or bill not
    later than four calendar days before the expiration of the sixty-day
    period specified in section 5(b). In the event the conferees are unable
    to agree within 48 hours, they shall report back to their respective
    Houses in disagreement. Notwithstanding any rule in either House
    concerning the printing of conference reports in the Record or
    concerning any delay in the consideration of such reports, such report
    shall be acted on by both Houses not later than the expiration of such
    sixty-day period.

      Sec. 7. (a) Any concurrent resolution introduced pursuant to section
    5(c) shall be referred to the Committee on International Relations of
    the House of Representatives or the Committee on Foreign Relations of
    the Senate, as the case may be, and one such concurrent resolution shall
    be reported out by such committee together with its recommendations
    within fifteen calendar days, unless such House shall otherwise
    determine by the yeas and nays.

      (b) Any concurrent resolution so reported shall become the pending
    business of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the time
    for debate shall be equally divided between the proponents and the
    opponents) and shall be voted on within three calendar days thereafter,
    unless such House shall otherwise determine by yeas and nays.

      (c) Such a concurrent resolution passed by one House shall be referred
    to the committee of the other House named in subsection (a) and shall be
    reported out by such committee together with its recommendations within
    fifteen calendar days and shall thereupon become the pending business of
    such House and shall be voted upon within three calendar days, unless

    either House concerning the printing of conference reports in the
    Record or concerning any delay in the consideration of such reports,
    such report shall be acted on by both Houses not later than six calendar
    days after the conference report is filed. In the event the conferees
    are unable to agree within 48 hours, they shall report back to their
    respective Houses in disagreement.

      (d) In the case of any disagreement between the two Houses of Congress
    with respect to a concurrent resolution passed by both Houses, conferees
    shall be promptly appointed and the committee of conference shall make
    and file a report with respect to such concurrent resolution within six
    calendar days after the legislation is referred to the committee of
    conference. Notwithstanding any rule in

      In the 94th Congress the President was granted authority to implement
    a ``Sinai early-warning system'' involving the assignment of civilian
    personnel to noncombat functions. In the same enactment, Congress
    provided for privileged consideration of a concurrent resolution calling
    for the removal of such personnel (see 22 U.S.C. 2348 note).

      In the 98th Congress the Committee on Foreign Affairs reported a joint
    resolution providing statutory authorization under the War Powers Act
    for a multinational peacekeeping force in Lebanon. The joint resolution
    would have been subject to consideration under the procedural provisions
    of the statute, but the House adopted a special order reported from the
    Committee on Rules varying the procedures for consideration of the joint
    resolution and also providing for consideration of a similar Senate
    joint resolution (H. Res. 318, Sept. 28, 1983, p. 26108). The House
    subsequently passed a Senate joint resolution on the subject that
    changed the rules of the House and Senate to provide special procedures
    for consideration of a joint resolution or bill to amend or repeal its
    provisions (P.L. 98-119, Sept. 29, 1983, p. 26493).

      In the 98th Congress the Act was amended to provide for expedited
    consideration in the Senate of bills or joint resolutions requiring the
    removal of U.S. forces engaged in hostilities outside U.S. territory
    without a declaration of war (P.L. 98-164, Nov. 22, 1983). Those
    procedures appear in section 601(b) of the International Security
    Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-329; 90 Stat.
    765).

      In the 102d Congress the President was granted specific authority
    within the meaning of section 5(b) of the Act to use U.S. armed forces
    to enforce United Nations resolutions in response to the occupation of
    Kuwait by Iraq (P.L. 102-1, Jan. 14, 1991).

    [[Page 997]]

      In the 103d Congress the Committee on Foreign Affairs reported H. Con.
    Res. 170, directing the President pursuant to 5(c) of the Act to remove
    United States Armed Forces from Somalia by January 31, 1994. By
    unanimous consent the House extended by one day the time for privileged
    consideration of that concurrent resolution under section 7(b) (Nov. 4,
    1993, p. ----).

               3. National Emergencies Act [50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq]

               title i--terminating existing declared emergencies

      Sec. 101. (a) All powers and authorities possessed by the President,
    any other officer or employee of the Federal Government, or any
    executive agency, as defined in section 105 of title 5, United States
    Code, as a result of the existence of any declaration of national
    emergency in effect on the date of enactment of this Act [Sept. 14,
    1976] are terminated two years from the date of such enactment. Such
    termination shall not affect--

              (1) any action taken or proceeding pending not finally

            concluded or determined on such date;

              (2) any action or proceeding based on any act committed prior

            to such date; or

              (3) any rights or duties that matured or penalties that were

            incurred prior to such date.

      (b) For the purpose of this section, the words ``any national
    emergency in effect'' means a general declaration of emergency made by
    the President.

              title ii--declarations of future national emergencies

      Sec. 201. (a) With respect to Acts of Congress authorizing the
    exercise, during the period of a national emergency, of any special or
    extraordinary power, the President is authorized to declare such
    national emergency. Such proclamation shall immediately be transmitted
    to the Congress and published in the Federal Register.

      (b) Any provisions of law conferring powers and authorities to be
    exercised during a national emergency shall be effective and remain in
    effect (1) only when the President (in accordance with subsection (a) of
    this section), specifically declares a national emergency, and (2) only
    in accordance with this Act. No law enacted after the date of enactment
    of this Act shall supersede this title unless it does so in specific
    terms, referring to this title, and declaring that the new law
    supersedes the provisions of this title.

    [[Page 998]]

      Sec. 202. (a) Any national emergency declared by the President in
    accordance with this title shall terminate if--

              (1) there is enacted into law a joint resolution terminating

            the emergency; or

              (2) the President issues a proclamation terminating the

            emergency.
    Any national emergency declared by the President shall be terminated on
    the date specified in any joint resolution referred to in clause (1) or
    on the date specified in a proclamation by the President terminating the
    emergency as provided in clause (2) of this subsection, whichever date
    is earlier, and any powers or authorities exercised by reason of said
    emergency shall cease to be exercised after such specified date, except
    that such termination shall not affect--

              (A) any action taken or proceeding pending not finally

            concluded or determined on such date;

              (B) any action or proceeding based on any act committed prior

            to such date; or

              (C) any rights or duties that matured or penalties that were

            incurred prior to such date.

      (b) Not later than six months after a national emergency is declared,
    and not later than the end of each six-month period thereafter that such
    emergency continues, each House of Congress shall meet to consider a
    vote on a joint resolution to determine whether that emergency shall be
    terminated.

      (c)(1) A joint resolution to terminate a national emergency delared by
    the President shall be referred to the appropriate committee of the
    House of Representatives or the Senate, as the case may be. One such
    joint resolution shall be reported out by such committee together with
    its recommendations within fifteen calendar days after the day on which
    such resolution is referred to such committee, unless such House shall
    otherwise determine by the yeas and nays.

      (2) Any joint resolution so reported shall become the pending business
    of the House in question (in the case of the Senate the time for debate
    shall be equally divided between the proponents and the opponents) and
    shall be voted on within three calendar days after the day on which such
    resolution is reported, unless such House shall otherwise determine by
    yeas and nays.

    committee and shall thereupon become the pending business of such House
    and shall be voted upon within three calendar days after the day on
    which such resolution is reported, unless such House shall otherwise
    determine by yeas and nays.
      (3) Such a joint resolution passed by one House shall be referred to
    the appropriate committee of the other House and shall be reported out
    by such committee together within its recommendations within fifteen
    calendar days after the day on which such resolution is referred to such

      (4) In the case of any disagreement between the two Houses of Congress
    with respect to a joint resolution passed by both Houses, conferees
    shall be promptly appointed and the committee of conference shall make
    and file a report with respect to such joint resolution within six
    calendar days after the day on which managers on the part of the Senate
    and the House have been appointed. Notwithstanding any rule in either
    House concerning the printing of conference reports or concerning any
    delay in the consideration of such reports, such report shall be acted
    on by both Houses not later than six calendar days after the conference
    report is filed in the House in which such report is filed first. In the
    event the conferees are unable to agree within forty-eight hours, they
    shall report back to their respective Houses in disagreement.

      (5) Paragraphs (1)-(4) of this subsection (b) of this section, and
    section 502(b) of this Act are enacted by Congress--

              (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

            the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they are

            deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but

            applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in

            the House in the case of resolutions described by this

            subsection; and they supersede other rules only to the extent

            that they are inconsistent therewith; and

              (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of

            either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the

            procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to

            the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.

     4. International Emergency Economic Powers Act [50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq]

      (d) Any national emergency declared by the President in accordance
    with this title, and not otherwise previously terminated, shall
    terminate on the anniversary of the declaration of that emergency if,
    within the ninety-day period prior to each anniversary date, the
    President does not publish in the Federal Register and transmit to the
    Congress a notice stating that such emergency is to continue in effect
    after such anniversary.

      Sec. 203. (a)(1) At the times and to the extent specified in section
    202, the President may, under such regulations as he may prescribe, by
    means of instructions, licenses, or otherwise--

              (A) investigate, regulate, or prohibit--

                      (i) any transactions in foreign exchange,

                      (ii) transfers of credit or payments between, by,

                    through, or to any banking institution, to the extent

                    that such transfers or payments involve any interest of

                    any foreign country or a national thereof,

                      (iii) the importing or exporting of currency or

                    securities; and

              (B) investigate, regulate, direct and compel, nullify, void,

            prevent or prohibit, any acquisition, holding, withholding, use,

            transfer, withdrawal, transportation, importation or exportation

            of, or dealing in, or exercising any right, power, or privilege

            with respect to, or transactions involving, any property in whch

            any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest;
    by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the

    whichever is later, unless during such 35-day period, there has been
    enacted into law a joint resolution, in accordance with the procedures
    specified in section 604 of this Act, disapproving such amendment. In
    any case in which any such joint resolution disapproving such an
    amendment has, within such 35-day period, passed both Houses of Congress
    and has been transmitted to the President, such resolution, upon
    becoming law subsequent to the expiration of such 35-day period, shall

    have repealed such act, as of the date such resolution becomes law. The
    provisions of section 604, except subsections (d), (e), and (f) of such

    proposing amendments to title IV of this Act, and except as provided in
    section 462(c) [relative to general obligation bonds] and section

    and repassed by two-thirds of the Council present and voting, each act
    passed by the Council and allowed to become effective by the Mayor
    without his signature, and each initiated act and act subject to

    qualified electors voting on the intitiative or referendum. Except as
    provided in paragraph (2), such act shall take effect upon the
    expiration of the 30-calendar-day period (excluding Saturdays, Sundays,
    and holidays, and any day on which neither House is in session because
    of an adjournment sine die, a recess of more than three days, or an

              (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

            the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such these

            provisions are deemed a part of the rule of each House,

            respectively, but applicable only with respect to the procedure

            to be followed in that House in the case of resolutions

            described by this section; and they supersede other rules only

            to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and

              (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of

            either House to change the rule (so far as relating to the

            procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to

    appropriately filled, and either approval or disapproval being
    appropriately indicated; but does not include a resolution which
    specifies more than one action.
      (b) For the purpose of this section, ``resolution'' means only a joint
    resolution, the matter after the resolving clause of which is as
    follows: ``That the ------ approves/disapproves of the action of the

      (c) A resolution with respect to Council action shall be referred to
    the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight of the House of
    Representatives, or the Committee on the District of Columbia of the
    Senate, by the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of
    Representatives, as the case may be.

      (d) If the committee to which a resolution has been referred has not
    reported it at the end of twenty calendar days after its introduction,
    it is in order to move to discharge the committee from further
    consideration of any other resolution with respect to the same Council
    action which has been referred to the committee.

      (e) A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual favoring
    the resolution, is highly privileged (except that it may not be made
    after the committee has reported a resolution with respect to the same
    action), and debate thereon shall be limited to not more than one hour,
    to be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the
    resolution. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and it is not in
    order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or
    disagreed to.

      (f) If the motion to discharge is agreed to or disagreed to, the
    motion may not be renewed, nor may another motion to discharge the
    committee be made with respect to any other resolution with respect to
    the same action.

      (g) When the committee has reported, or has been discharged from
    further consideration of, a resolution, it is at any time therafter in
    order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been
    disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution.
    The motion is highly privileged and is not debatable. An amendment to
    the motion is not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider
    the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

    [[Page 1004]]

      (h) Debate on the resolution shall be limited to not more than ten
    hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring and those
    opposing the resolution. A motion further to limit debate is not
    debatable. An amendment to, or motion to recommit, the resolution is not
    in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which
    the resolution is agreed to or disagreed to.

      (i) Motions to postpone made with respect to the discharge from
    committee or the consideration of a resolution, and motions to proceed
    to the consideration of other business, shall be decided without debate.

      (j) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives
    as the case may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution shall be
    decided without debate.

      It is not in order to offer as privileged a motion to discharge the
    Committee on the District of Columbia (now Government Reform and
    Oversight) from a simple (now joint) resolution disapproving an act
    passed by the D.C. City Council prior to the time that the Council was
    vested with the authority to pass the category of act to which the
    simple resolution disapproval procedure applies (Speaker Albert, Sept.
    22, 1976, pp. 31873-74). The D.C. City Council subsequently having been
    vested with that authority, a motion to discharge the Committee on the
    District of Columbia (now Government Reform and Oversight) from further
    consideration of a (joint) resolution disapproving an act of the
    Councial amending the D.C. Criminal Code is privileged after twenty
    calendar days from introduction of the resolution, if not reported
    during that time (Oct. 1, 1981, p. 22752; Oct. 14, 1987, p. 27847).

      Section 604 does not provide a privileged motion to discharge the
    District of Columbia Committee from a concurrent (now joint) resolution
    disapproving acts of the D.C. City Council not affecting the D.C.
    Criminal Code, such concurrent resolutions only being privileged when
    reported by that committee (Speaker Albert, Sept. 22, 1976, pp. 31873-

    of disapproval can be limited by motion, but otherwise extends not to
    exceed 10 hours; a concurrent (now joint) resolution disapproving an

    transmit to both Houses of Congress a special message specifying--
      Sec. 1012. (a) transmittal of special message.--Whenever the President
    determines that all or part of any budget authority will not be required
    to carry out the full objectives or scope of programs for which it is
    provided or that such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal
    policy or other reasons (including the termination of authorized
    projects or activities for which budget authority has been provided), or
    whenever all or part of budget authority provided for only one fiscal
    year is to be reserved from obligation for such fiscal year, the
    President shall

              (1) the amount of budget authority which he proposes to be

            rescinded or which is to be so reserved;

              (2) any account, department, or establishment of the

            Government to which such budget authority is available for

            obligation, and the specific project or governmental functions

            involved;

              (3) the reasons why the budget authority should be rescinded

            or is to be so reserved;

              (4) to the maximum extent practicable, the estimated fiscal,

            economic, and budgetary effect of the proposed rescission or of

            the reservation; and

              (5) all facts, circumstances, and considerations relating to

            or bearing upon the proposed rescission or the reservation and

            the decision to effect the proposed rescission or the

            reservation, and to the maximum extent practicable, the

            estimated effect of the proposed rescission or the reservation

            upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the budget

            authority is provided.

      (b) requirement to make available for obligation.--Any amount of
    budget authority proposed to be rescinded or that is to be reserved as
    set forth in such special message shall be made available for obligation
    unless, within the prescribed 45-day period, the Congress has completed
    action on a rescission bill rescinding all or part of the amount
    proposed to be rescinded or that is to be reserved. Funds made available
    for obligation under this procedure may not be proposed for rescission
    again.

                     proposed deferrals of budget authority

      Sec. 1013. (a) transmittal of special message.--Whenever the
    President, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the head
    of any department or agency of the United States, or any officer or
    employee of the United States proposes to defer any budget authority
    provided for a specific purpose or project, the President shall transmit
    to the House of Representatives and the Senate a special message
    specifying--

              (1) The amount of the budget authority proposed to be

            deferred;

              (2) any account, department, or establishment of the

    [[Page 1008]]
            Government to which such budget authority is

            available for obligation, and the specific projects or governmental

            functions involved;

              (3) the period of time during which the budget authority is

            proposed to be deferred;

              (4) the reasons for the proposed deferral, including any legal

            authority invoked to justify the proposed deferral;

              (5) to the maximum extent practicable, the estimated fiscal,

            economic, and budgetary effect of the proposed deferral; and

              (6) all facts, circumstances, and considerations relating to

            or bearing upon the proposed deferral and the decision to effect

            the proposed deferral, including an analysis of such facts,

            circumstances, and considerations in terms of their application

            to any legal authority, including specific elements of legal

            authority, invoked to justify such proposed deferral, and to the

            maximum extent practicable, the estimated effect of the proposed

            deferral upon the objects, purposes, and programs for which the

            budget authority is provided.
    A special message may include one or more proposed deferrals of budget
    authority. A deferral may not be proposed for any period of time
    extending beyond the end of the fiscal year in which the special message
    proposing the deferral is transmitted to the House and the Senate.

      (b) consistency with legislative policy.--Deferrals shall be
    permissible only--

              (1) to provide for contingencies;

              (2) to achieve savings made possible by or through changes in

            requirements or greater efficiency of operations; or

              (3) as specifically provided by law.
    No officer or employee of the United States may defer any budget
    authority for any other purpose.

      (c) exception.--The provisions of this section do not apply to any
    budget authority proposed to be rescinded or that is to be reserved as
    set forth in a special message required to be transmitted under section
    1012.

    discharge the committee from further consideration of the bill or
    resolution or to discharge the committee from further consideration of
    any other rescission bill with respect to the same special message or
    impoundment resolution with respect to the same proposed deferral, as
    the case may be, which has been referred to the committee.

    than 1 hour, the time to be divided in the House equally between those
    favoring and those opposing the bill or resolution, and to be divided in
    the Senate equally between, and controlled by, the majority leader and

    not in order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by
    which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

      (c) floor consideration in the house.--(1) When the committee of the
    House of Representatives has reported, or has been discharged from
    further consideration of, a rescission bill or impoundment resolution,
    it shall at any time thereafter be in order (even though a previous
    motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to
    the consideration of the bill or resolution. The motion shall be highly
    privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in

    limited to not more than 2 hours, which shall be divided equally between
    those favoring and those opposing the bill or resolution. A motion

      (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the preceding
    provisions of this subsection, consideration of any rescission bill or
    impoundment resolution and amendments thereto (or any conference report
    thereon) shall be governed by the Rules of the House of Representatives
    applicable to other bills and resolutions, amendments, and conference
    reports in similar circumstances.

      (d) floor consideration in the senate.--(1) Debate in the Senate on
    any rescission bill or impoundment resolution, and all amendments
    thereto (in the case of a rescission bill) and debatable motions and
    appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 10
    hours. The time shall be equally divided between, and controlled by, the
    majority leader and the minority leader or their designees.

      (2) Debate in the Senate on any amendment to a rescission bill shall
    be limited to 2 hours, to be equally divided between, and controlled by,
    the mover and the manager of the bill. Debate on any amendment to an
    amendment, to such a bill, and debate on any debatable motion or appeal
    in connection with such a bill or an impoundment resolution shall be
    limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the
    mover and the manager of the bill or resolution, except that in the
    event the manager of the bill or resolution is in favor in any such
    amendment, motion, or appeal, the time in opposition thereto, shall be
    controlled by the minority leader or his designee. No amendment that is
    not germane to the provisions of a rescission bill shall be received.
    Such leaders, or either of them, may, from the time under their control
    on the passage of a rescission bill or impoundment resolution, allot
    additional time to any Senator during the consideration of any
    amendment, debatable motion, or appeal.

    reports and is not prevented by the expiration of the 45-day period
    following the initial consideration of the bill in the House (Speaker
    Albert, Mar. 25, 1975, pp. 8484-85).

    not including fuel irradiated in a research reactor, and not including
    fuel irradiated in a power reactor if the President determines that (1)
    use of funds for repurchase, transportation or storage of such fuel is

    resolutions described in paragraph (3). They shall supersede other rules
    only to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith. They are

    House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that
    House) at any time, in the same manner and to the same extent as in the
    case of any rule of that House.
      (2) The succeeding paragraphs of this subsection are enacted by
    Congress as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and the
    House of Representatives, respectively, and as such they shall be deemed
    a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only

    person favoring the resolution, shall be highly privileged (except that
    it may not be made after the committee has reported a resolution with
    respect to the same proposed rate), and debate thereon shall be limited
    to not more than 1 hour, to be divided equally between those favoring
    and those opposing the resolution. An amendment to the motion is not in
    order, and it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which
    the motion is agreed to or disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is
    agreed to or disagreed to, the motion may not be renewed, nor may
    another motion to discharge the committee be made with respect to any
    other resolution with respect to the same proposed rate.

    be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be divided equally
    between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. A motion
    further to limit debate is not debatable. An amendment to, or motion to

    to reconsider the vote by which the resolution is agreed to or disagreed
    to.

    distributions of any material by the Department of Energy under sections
    54, 64, or 82 [42 U.S.C. 2074, 2094, 2112], for which a license is

    Provided further, That if, upon the expiration of such twenty-month
    period, the President determines that failure to continue cooperation
    with any group of nations which has been exempted pursuant to the above
    proviso from the provisions of paragraph (4) or (5) of section 127 of
    this Act [42 U.S.C. 2156(4) or (5)], but which has not yet agreed to
    comply with those provisions would be seriously prejudicial to the
    achievement of United States non-proliferation objectives or otherwise
    jeopardize the common defense and security, he may, after notifying the
    Congress of his determination, extend by Executive order the duration of
    the above proviso for a period of twelve months, and may further extend
    the duration of such proviso by one year increments annually thereafter
    if he again makes such determination and so notifies the Congress. In
    the event that the Committee on International Relations of the House of
    Representatives or the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate
    reports a joint resolution to take any action with respect to any such
    extension, such joint resolution will be considered in the House or
    Senate, as the case may be, under procedures identical to those provided
    for the consideration of resolutions pursuant to section 130 of this Act
    [42 U.S.C. 2159]: * * *

    of Presidential submissions: * * *

    application and reviewing the Commission's decision, the President
    determines that withholding the proposed export would be seriously
    prejudicial to the achievement of United States non-proliferation
    objectives, or would otherwise jeopdarize the common defense and
    security, the proposed export may be authorized by Executive order:
    Provided, That prior to any such export, the President shall submit the
    Executive order, together with his explanation of why, in light of the
    Commission's decision, the export should nonetheless be made, to the
    Congress for a period of sixty days of continuous session (as defined in
    subsection 130g. [42 U.S.C. 2159(g)]) and shall be referred to the
    Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives and
    the Committee on Foreign Relations

      c. In the event that the House of Representatives or the Senate passes
    a joint resolution which would adopt one or more additional export
    criteria, or would modify any existing criteria under this Act, any such
    joint resolution shall be referred in the other House to the Committee
    on Foreign Relations of the Senate or the Committee on International
    Relations of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, and shall
    be considered by the other House under applicable procedures provided
    for the consideration of resolutions pursuant to section 130 of this Act

    non-nuclear-weapon state which has failed to meet such criterion until
    the first such license or authorization with respect to such state is
    submitted to the Congress (together with a detailed assessment of the
    reasons underlying the President's determination, the judgment of the
    executive branch required under section 126 of this Act [42 U.S.C.
    2155], and any Commission opinion and views) for a period of sixty days

    paragraph (1), no further export of materials, facilities, or technology
    specified in subsection a. shall be permitted for the remainder of that
    Congress, unless such state meets the criterion or the President
    notifies the Congress that he has determined that significant progress
    has been made in achieving adherence to such criterion by such state or
    that United States foreign policy interests dictate reconsideration and
    the Congress, pursuant to the procedure of paragraph (1), does not adopt
    a concurrent resolution stating in substance that it disagrees with the
    President's determination.

      (3) If the Congress does not adopt a resolution of disapproval with
    respect to a license or authorization submitted pursuant to paragraph
    (1), the criterion set forth in subsection a. shall not be applied as an
    export criterion with respect to exports of materials, facilities and
    technology specified in subsection a. to that state: Provided, That the
    first license or authorization with respect to that state which is
    issued pursuant to this paragraph after twelve months from the elapse of
    the sixty-day period specified in paragraph (1), and the first such
    license or authorization which is issued after each twelve-month period
    thereafter, shall be submitted to the Congress for review pursuant to
    the procedures specified in paragraph (1): Provided further, That if the
    Congress adopts a resolution of disapproval during any review period
    provided for by this paragraph, the provisions of paragraph (2) shall
    apply with respect to further exports to such state.

    lieu of the word ``does'' if the resolution under consideration is a
    concurrent resolution of approval, the vote on final approval of the
    resolution shall occur.

      (2) On the day on which a bilateral commerical agreement, entered into
    under title IV of this Act after the date of the enactment of this Act,
    is transmitted to the House of Representatives and the Senate, an
    approval resolution with respect to such agreement shall be introduced
    (by request) in the House by the majority leader of the House, for
    himself and the minority leader of the House, or by Members of the House
    designated by the majority leader and minority leader of the House; and
    shall be introduced (by request) in the Senate by the majority leader of

              (A) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no

            implementing bill or approval resolution had been received from

            the other House; but

    shall be automatically discharged from further consideration of such
    bill or resolution and it shall be placed on the calendar. A vote on
    final passage of such bill or resolution shall be taken in the Senate on
    or before the close of the 15th day after such bill or resolution is

    referred, or after such committee or committees have been discharged
    from further consideration of such bill or resolution.
      (2) The provisions of paragraph (1) shall not apply in the Senate to
    an implementing revenue bill or resolution. An implementing revenue bill
    or resolution received from the House shall be referred to the
    appropriate committee or committees of the Senate. If such committee or

    House was not in session.

      (f) floor consideration in the house.--(1) A motion in the House of
    Representatives to proceed to the consideration of an implementing bill
    or approval resolution shall be highly privileged and not debatable. An
    amendment to the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order
    to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or
    disagreed to.

      (2) Debate in the House of Representatives on an implementing bill or
    approval resolution shall be limited to not more than 20 hours, which
    shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the

    debatable. It shall not be in order to move to recommit an implementing
    bill or approval resolution or to move to reconsider the vote by which
    an implementing bill or approval resolution is agreed to or disagreed
    to.

      (3) Motions to postpone, made in the House of Representatives with
    respect to the consideration of an implementing bill or approval
    resolution, and motions to proceed to the consideration of other
    business, shall be decided without debate.

      (4) All appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to the
    procedure relating to an implementing bill or approval resolution shall
    be decided without debate.

    [[Page 1038]]

      (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the preceding
    provisions of this subsection, consideration of an implementing bill or
    approval resolution shall be governed by the Rules of the House of
    Representatives applicable to other bills and resolutions in similar
    circumstances.

      (g) floor consideration in the senate.--(1) A motion in the Senate to
    proceed to the consideration of an implementing bill or approval
    resolution shall be privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the
    motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order to move to

      (2) Debate in the Senate on an implementing, and all debatable motions
    and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than
    20 hours. The time shall be equally divided between, and controlled by,
    the majority leader and the minority leader or their designees.

      (3) Debate in the Senate on any debatable motion or appeal in
    connection with an implementing bill or approval resolution shall be
    limited to not more than 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and
    controlled by, the mover and the manager of the bill or resolution,
    except that in the event the manager of the bill or resolution is in
    favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in opposition thereto,
    shall be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. Such
    leaders, or either of them, may, from time under their control on the
    passage of an implementing bill or approval resolution, allot additional
    time to any Senator during the consideration of any debatable motion or
    appeal.

      (4) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate is not debatable. A
    motion to recommit an implementing bill or approval resolution is not in
    order.

    [[Page 1039]]

      Pursuant to section 151(f)(2) of this Act debate on an implementing
    revenue bill must be equally divided and controlled among those favoring
    and opposing the bill (absent unanimous consent agreement for some other
    distribution of the time); a motion to limit debate on such legislation
    must be made in the House, and not in the Committee of the Whole, and
    may be made either pending the motion to resolve into Committee of the
    Whole or at a later time, after the Committee has risen without
    completing action on the bill (July 10, 1979, pp. 17812-13). An
    implementing bill reported from committee has been considered as
    privileged under the Act (Nov. 14, 1980, p. 29617). The House has
    adopted a special order recommended by the Committee on Rules providing
    for consideration of both a resolution to deny the extension of ``fast
    track'' procedures requested by the President under section 1103(b) of
    the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 and a resolution to
    express the sense of the House concerning U.S. negotiating objectives
    after such an extension (May 23, 1991, p. ----). The Senate has affirmed
    its constitutional authority to enact a statutory rule (as in subsection
    (d) of section 151) prohibiting amendments to specified revenue bills in
    derogation of its constitutional authority to propose amendments to
    House revenue bills (presiding officer sustained on appeal) (Nov. 19,
    1993, p. ----).

            filled with the appropriate date.

      (2) The first blank space referred to in paragraph (1)(B) shall be

    under section 154(b), it is in order to move either to discharge the
    committee from further consideration of the resolution or to discharge
    the committee from further consideration of any other resolution
    introduced with respect to the same matter, except that a motion to
    discharge--

              (A) may only be made on the second legislative day after the

            calendar day on which the Member making the motion announces to

            the House his intention to do so; and

    [[Page 1040]]

              (B) is not in order after the Committee has reported a

            resolution with respect to the same matter.

      (2) A motion to discharge under paragraph (1) may be made only by an

    by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

      (2) Debate in the House of Representatives on a resolution shall be
    limited to not more than 20 hours, which shall be divided equally
    between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. A motion
    further to limit debate shall not be debatable. No amendment to, or
    motion to recommit, the resolution shall be in order. It shall not be in
    order to move to reconsider the vote by which a resolution is agreed to

    to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the
    manager of the resolution, except that in the event the manager of the
    resolution is in favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in
    opposition thereto, shall be controlled by the minority leader or his
    designee. Such leaders, or either of them, may, from time under their
    control on the passage of a resolution, allot additional time to any
    Senator during the consideration of any debatable motion or appeal.

      (4) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on a resolution,
    debatable motion, or appeal is not debatable. No amendment to, or motion
    to recommit, a resolution is in order in the Senate.

      (f) procedures in the senate.--(1) Except as otherwise provided in
    this section, the following procedures shall apply in the Senate to a
    resolution to which this section applies:

              (A)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii), a resolution that

            has passed the House of Representatives shall, when received in

            the Senate, be referred to the Committee on Finance for

            consideration in accordance with this section.

              (ii) If a resolution to which this section applies was

            introduced in the Senate before receipt of a resolution that has

            passed the House of Representatives, the resolution from the

            House of Representatives shall, when received in the Senate, be

            placed on the calendar. If this clause applies, the procedures

            in the Senate with respect to a resolution introduced in the

            Senate that contains the identical matter as the resolution that

            passed the House of Representatives shall be the same as if no

            resolution had been received from the House of Representatives,

            except that the vote on passage in the Senate shall be on the

            resolution that passed the House of Representatives.

              (B) If the Senate passes a resolution before receiving from

            the House of Representatives a joint resolution that contains

            the identical matter, the joint resolution shall be held at the

    [[Page 1042]]
            desk pending receipt of the

            joint resolution from the House of Representatives. Upon receipt of the

            joint resolution from the House of Representatives, such joint

            resolution shall be deemed to be read twice, considered, read

            the third time, and passed.

      (2) If the texts of joint resolutions described in section 152 or
    153(a), whichever is applicable concerning any matter are not
    identical--

              (A) the Senate shall vote passage on the resolution introduced

            in the Senate, and

              (B) the text of the joint resolution passed by the Senate

            shall, immediately upon its passage (or, if later, upon receipt

            of the joint resolution passed by the House), be substituted for

            the text of the joint resolution passed by the House of

            Representatives, and such resolution, as amended, shall be

            returned with a request for a conference between the two Houses.

      (3) Consideration in the Senate of any veto message with respect to a
    joint resolution described in subsection (a)(2)(B) or section 153(a),
    including consideration of all debatable motions and appeals in
    connection therewith, shall be limited to 10 hours, to be equally
    divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the minority
    leader or their designees.

      Although a motion that the House resolve itself into the Committee of
    the Whole is not ordinarily subject to the motion to postpone
    indefinitely (VI, 726), the motion to postpone indefinitely may be
    offered pursuant to the provisions of this statute, is non-debatable,
    and represents final adverse disposition of the disapproval resolution
    (Mar. 10, 1977, p. 7021).

    House of Representatives on any amendment to a resolution shall be
    limited to not more than 1 hour which shall be equally divided between
    those favoring and those opposing the amendment. A motion in the House
    to further limit debate on an amendment to a resolution is not
    debatable.

      (4) That part of section 152(e)(4) which provides that no amendment is
    in order shall not apply to any amendment to a resolution which is
    limited to striking out or inserting the names of one or more countries
    or to striking out or inserting a with-respect-to clause. The time limit
    on a debate on a resolution in the Senate under section 152(e)(2) shall

    be equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager
    of the resolution, except that in the event the manager of the
    resolution is in favor of any such amendment, the time in opposition
    thereto shall be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. The
    majority leader and minority leader may, from time under the control on
    the passage of a resolution, allot additional time to any Senator during
    the consideration of any amendment. A motion in the Senate to further
    limit debate on an amendment to a resolution is not debatable.

      (c) consideration of second resolution not in order.--It shall not be
    in order in either the House of Representatives or the Senate to

    designees. Debate on any debatable motion or appeal related to the
    conference report shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided

                    duty,

                      (ii) such continuance of existing duty-free or excise

                    treatment, or

                      (iii) such additional duties;

            as he determines to be required or appropriate to carry out any

            such trade agreement.

      (2) No proclamation may be made under subsection (a) that--

              (A) reduces any rate of duty (other than a rate of duty that

            does not exceed 5 percent ad valorem on the date of enactment of

            this Act) to a rate which is less than 50 percent of the rate of

            such duty that applies on such date of enactment; or

              (B) increases any rate of duty above the rate that applies on

            such date of enactment.

    [[Page 1046]]

      (3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the aggregate reduction
    in the rate of duty on any article which is in effect on any day
    pursuant to a trade agreement entered into under paragraph (1) shall not
    exceed the aggregate reduction which would have been in effect on such
    day if a reduction of 3 percent ad valorem or a reduction of one-tenth
    of the total reduction, whichever is greater, had taken effect on the
    effective date of the first reduction proclaimed in paragraph (1) to
    carry out such agreement with respect to such article.

      (B) No staging under subparagraph (A) is required with respect to a
    rate reduction that is proclaimed under paragraph (1) for an article of
    a kind that is not produced in the United States. The United States
    International Trade Commission shall advise the President of the
    identity of articles that may be exempted from staging under this
    subparagraph.

      (4) If the President determines that such action will simplify the
    computation of reductions under paragraph (3), the President may round
    an annual reduction by the lesser of--

              (A) the difference between the reduction without regard to

            this paragraph and the next lower whole number; or

              (B) one-half of 1 percent ad valorem.

      (5) No reduction in a rate of duty under a trade agreement entered
    into under subsection (a) on any article may take effect more than 10
    years after the effective date of the first reduction under paragraph
    (1) that is proclaimed to carry out the trade agreement with respect to
    such article.

      (6) A rate of duty reduction or increase that may not be proclaimed by
    reason of paragraph (2) may take effect only if a provision authorizing
    such reduction or increase is included within an implementing bill
    provided for under section 1103 and that bill is enacted into law.

      (b) agreements regarding nontariff barriers.--(1) Whenever the
    President determines that any barrier to, or other distortion of,
    international trade--

              (A) unduly burdens or restricts the foreign trade of the

            United States or adversely affects the United States economy; or

              (B) the imposition of any such barrier or distortion is likely

            to result in such a burden, restriction, or effect;
    and that the purposes, policies, and objectives of this title will be
    promoted thereby, the President may, before June 1, 1993, enter into a
    trade agreement with foreign countries providing for--

              (i) the reduction or elimination of such barrier or other

            distortion; or

              (ii) the prohibition of, or limitations on the imposition of,

            such barrier or other distortion.

    [[Page 1047]]

    Before June 1, 1993, the President may enter into bilateral trade
    agreements with foreign countries that provide for the elimination or
    reduction of any duty imposed by the United States. A trade agreement
    entered into under this paragraph may also provide for the reduction or
    elimination of barriers to, or other distortions of, the international
    trade of the foreign country or the United States.

      (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no trade benefit shall
    be extended to any country by reason of the extension of any trade
    benefit to another country under a trade agreement entered into under
    paragraph (1) with such other country.

      (3) A trade agreement may be entered into under paragraph (1) with any
    foreign country only if--

              (A) the agreement makes progress in meeting the applicable

            objectives described in section 1101;

              (B) such foreign country requests the negotiation of such an

            agreement; and

              (C) the President, at least 60 days before the date notice is

            provided under section 1103(a)(1)(A)--

                      (i) provides written notice of such negotiations to

                    the Committee on Finance of the Senate and the Committee

                    on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, and

                      (ii) consults with such committees regarding the

      (4) The 60-day period of time described in paragraph (3)(C) shall be

      (5) In any case in which there is an inconsistency between any
    provision of this Act and any bilateral free trade area agreement that
    entered into force and effect with respect to the United States before
    January 1, 1987, the provision shall not apply with respect to the
    foreign country that is party to that agreement.

      (d) consultation with congress before agreements entered into.--(1)
    Before the President enters into any trade agreement under subsection
    (b) or (c), the President shall consult with--

            Representatives and the Committee on Finance of the Senate; and

    [[Page 1048]]

              (B) each other committee of the House and the Senate, and each

            joint committee of the Congress, which has jurisdiction over

            legislation involving subject matters which would be affected by

            the trade agreement.

      (2) The consultation under paragraph (1) shall include--

              (A) the nature of the agreement;

              (B) how and to what extent the agreement will achieve the

            applicable purposes, policies, and objectives of this title; and

              (C) all matters relating to the implementation of the

            agreement under section 1103.

      (3) If it is proposed to implement two or more trade agreements in a
    single implementing bill under section 1103, the consultation under
    paragraph (1) shall include the desirability and feasibility of such
    proposed implementation.

      The 103d Congress added a subsection 1102(e) to extend Presidential
    negotiating authority and ``fast track'' legislative procedures only
    with respect to an agreement produced by the Uruguay Round of
    negotiations under the auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
    Trade (P.L. 103-49; 107 Stat. 239), and subsequently enacted the
    resulting implementing bill (P.L. 103-465; 108 Stat. 4809 et seq.).
    While section 1102 is currently inoperative, it has been retained in
    this compilation in the event the President's negotiating authority is
    restored.

                    international monetary stability; and

    agreement.
      (3) To ensure that a foreign country which receives benefits under a
    trade agreement entered into under section 1102 (b) or (c) is subject to

    The President, by Executive order, may transfer to the Director any
    activities or facilities of any Government agency which relate primarily
    to arms control and disarmament. In connection with any such transfer,
    the President may under this section or other applicable authority,
    provide for appropriate transfers of records, property, civilian

    session of the Congress following the date of receipt of such report by
    the Congress has expired without adoption by either House of the
    Congress of a resolution stating that such House does not favor such

    both Houses are not in session on the day any energy action is received
    by the appropriate officers of each House, for purposes of this section
    such energy action shall be deemed to have transmitted on the first
    succeeding day on which both Houses are in session.

      (c)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, if
    energy action is transmitted to the Houses of Congress, such action
    shall take effect at the end of the first period of 15 calendar days of

    to the expiration of the 15-calendar-day period after the date on which
    such action is transmitted, if each House of Congress approves a

    object to such action.

              (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and

            the House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is

      (2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``resolution'' means

    respect to the same plan shall be referred to the same committee) by the
    President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
    as the case may be.

      (4)(A) If the committee to which a resolution with respect to an
    energy action has been referred has not reported it at the end of 5
    calendar days after its referral, it shall be in order to move either to

    to discharge the committee from further consideration of any other
    resolution with respect to such energy action which has been referred to
    the committee.

    made after the committee has reported a resolution with respect to the
    same energy action), and debate thereon shall be limited to not more
    than one hour, to be divided equally between those favoring and those
    opposing the resolution. An amendment to the motion shall not be in
    order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by
    which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to.

      (C) If the motion to discharge is agreed to or disagreed to, the
    motion may not be renewed, nor may another motion to discharge the
    committee be made with respect to any other resolution with respect to
    the same energy action.

      (5)(A) When the committee has reported, or has been discharged from
    further consideration of, a resolution, it shall be at any time
    thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect
    has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the
    resolution. The motion shall be highly privileged and shall not be
    debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it
    shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion
    was agreed to or disagreed to.

    paragraph shall be limited to not more than 10 hours, which shall be
    divided equally between those favoring and those opposing such
    resolution. A motion further to limit debate shall not be debatable. An
    amendment to, or motion to recommit, the resolution shall not be in
    order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by
    which such resolution was agreed to or disagreed to; except that it
    shall be in order--

              (i) to offer an amendment in the nature of a substitute,

            consisting of the text of a resolution described in paragraph

            (2)(A) of this subsection with respect to an energy action, for

    [[Page 1061]]
            a resolution described in para

            graph (2)(B) of this subsection with respect to the same such action,

            or

              (ii) to offer an amendment in the nature of a substitute,

            consisting of the text of a resolution described in paragraph

            (2)(B) of this subsection with respect to an energy action, for

            a resolution described in paragraph (2)(A) of this subsection

            with respect to the same such action.
    The amendments described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this subparagraph
    shall not be amendable.

      (6)(A) Motions to postpone, made with respect to the discharge from
    committee, or the consideration of a resolution and motions to proceed
    to the consideration of other business, shall be decided without debate.

      (B) Appeals from the decision of the Chair relating to the application
    of the rules of the Senate or the House of Representatives, as the case
    may be, to the procedure relating to a resolution shall be decided
    without debate.

    House has approved a resolution with respect to an energy action, then
    it shall not be in order to consider in that House any other resolution
    with respect to the same such action.

      These statutory procedures have been used for consideration of a
    motion to discharge a committee from consideration of a resolution
    disapproving an ``energy action'' under Public Law 94-163 (Apr. 13,
    1976, p. 10794; May 27, 1976, p. 15772).

            which has been reported by a committee, it shall be in order at

            any time during the debate allowed for under paragraph (5)(B) to

    [[Page 1066]]
                    in paragraph (2)(B)(i) with respect to any

                    rationing contingency plan, if the resolution sought to be amended is a

                    such plan shall not be referred to a committee;

                      (ii) in the case of a resolution of the first House

                    with respect to such plan--

                          (I) the procedure with respect to that or other

                        resolutions of such House with respect to such plan

                        shall be the same as if no resolution from the other

                        House with respect to such plan had been received;

                        but

                          (II) on any vote on final passage of a resolution

                        of the first House with respect to such plan a

                        resolution from the other House with respect to such

                        plan which has the same effect shall be

                        automatically substituted for the resolution of the

                        first House.

              (D) Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of this

            subsection, if a House has approved a resolution with respect to

            a rationing contingency plan, then it shall not be in order to

    the House, with recognition of the right of the House to change its
    rules at any time (May 10, 1979, pp. 10666-67).
      Although the Energy Policy and Conservation Act provides for separate
    House consideration of resolutions to approve standby rationing plans
    proposed under the Act and to approve amendments to said plans proposed
    after their submission to Congress, the House adopted in the 96th
    Congress a resolution reported from the Committee on Rules to provide
    for simultaneous consideration of a resolution to approve a plan and a
    resolution to approve an amendment to the plan, with one vote on the
    adoption of both resolutions, since provisions of that Act governing
    procedures for House consideration were enacted pursuant to the
    rulemaking power of

      In a message to Congress submitting three energy conservation
    contingency plans pursuant to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act,
    the President stated that the Act did not specify the form which
    resolutions of approval must take and recommended that a joint
    resolution, since it would have the force of law, be the appropriate
    vehicle, although section 552(c)(2) of the Act, supra, implies a simple
    resolution of approval in each House, since requiring the first blank
    space of the resolution to be filled with the name of the resolving
    House (H. Doc. 96-62, Mar. 1, 1979, p. 3764).

      The House has considered (and rejected) a privileged motion to
    discharge a committee from further consideration of a joint resolution
    disapproving a gas rationing plan proposed by the President under this
    statute (July 30, 1980, pp. 20515-29).

      Sec. 404. Emergency Authorities.--(a) coal allocation authority.--(1)
    If the President--

              (A) declares a severe energy supply interruption, as defined

            in section 3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act [42

            U.S.C. 6202(8)], or

              (B) finds, and publishes such finding, that a national or

            regional fuel supply shortage exists or may exist which the

            President determines--

                      (i) is, or is likely to be, of significant scope and

                    duration, and of an emergency nature;

                      (ii) causes, or may cause, major adverse impact on

                    public health, safety, or welfare or on the economy; and

                      (iii) results, or is likely to result, from an

                    interruption in the supply of coal or from sabotage, or

                    an act of God;
    the President may, by order, allocate (and require the transportation
    thereof) for the use of any electrical powerplant or major fuel-burning
    installation, in accordance with such terms and conditions as he may
    prescribe, to insure reliability of electric service or prevent
    unemployment, or protect public health, safety, or welfare.

      (2) For purposes of this subsection, the term ``coal'' means
    anthracite and bituminous coal and lignite (but does not mean any fuel
    derivative thereof).

    ergy Policy and Conservation Act [42 U.S.C. 6202(8)], the President
    may, by order, prohibit any electric powerplant or major fuelburning
    installation from using natural gas or petroleum, or both, as a primary
    energy source for the duration of such interruption. Notwithstanding any
    other provision of this section, any suspension of emission limitations
    or other requirements of applicable implementation plans, as defined in
    section 110(d) of the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7410(d)], required by
    such prohibition shall be issued only in accordance with section 110(f)
    of the Clean Air Act [42 U.S.C. 7410(f)].

    President declares a severe energy supply interruption, as defined in

      (c) emergency stays.--The President may, by order, stay the
    application of any provision of this act, or any rule or order
    thereunder, applicable to any new or existing electric powerplant, if
    the President finds, and publishes such finding, that an emergency
    exists, due to national, regional, or systemwide shortages of coal or
    other alternate fuels, or disruption of transportation facilities, which
    emergency is likely to affect reliability of service of any such
    electric powerplant.

      (d) duration of emergency orders.--(1) Except as provided in paragraph
    (3), any order issued by the President under this section shall not be
    effective for longer than the duration of the interruption or emergency,
    or 90 days, whichever is less.

      (2) Any such order may be extended by a subsequent order which the
    President shall transmit to the Congress in accordance with section 551
    of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act [42 U.S.C. 6421]. Such order
    shall be subject to congressional review pursuant to such section.

      (3) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the effectiveness of any order
    issued under this section shall not terminate under this subsection
    during the 15-calendar-day period during which any such subsequent order
    described in paragraph (2) is subject to congressional review under
    section 551 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act [42 U.S.C. 6421].

      (4) Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
    the Secretary shall establish procedures for the collection and payment
    of the fees established by paragraph (2) and paragraph (3). The
    Secretary shall annually review the amount of the fees established by
    paragraphs (2) and (3) above to evaluate whether collection of the fee
    will provide sufficient revenues to offset the costs as defined in
    subsection (d) herein. In the event the Secretary determines that either
    insufficient or excess revenues are being collected, in order to recover
    the costs incurred by the Federal Government that are specified in
    subsection (d), the Secretary shall propose an adjustment to the fee to
    insure full cost recovery. The Secretary shall immediately transmit this
    proposal for such an adjustment to Congress. The adjusted fee proposed
    by the Secretary shall be effective after a period of 90 days of
    continuous session have elapsed following the receipt of such
    transmittal unless during such 90-day period either House of Congress
    adopts a resolution disapproving the Secretary's proposed adjustment in
    accordance with the procedures set forth for congressional review of an
    energy action under section 551 of the Energy Policy and Conservation
    Act [42 U.S.C. 6421].

    within thirty calendar days after receiving such certification, enacts a
    joint resolution prohibiting the proposed sale, unless the President
    states in his certification that an emergency exists which requires such
    sale in the national security interests of the United States. If the

                                [43 U.S.C. 1712]

      Sec. 202. (a) The Secretary shall, with public involvement and
    consistent with the terms and conditions of this Act, develop, maintain,
    and, when appropriate, revise land use plans which provide by tracts or
    areas for the use of the public lands. Land use plans shall be developed
    for the public lands regardless of whether such lands previously have
    been classified, withdrawn, set aside, or otherwise designated for one
    or more uses.

                                      * * *

    the land use planning process conducted under this section, and all
    public lands, regardless of classification, are subject to inclusion in
    any land use plan developed pursuant to this section. The Secretary may
    modify or terminate any such classification with such land use plans.
      (d) Any classification of public lands or any land use plan in effect
    on October 21, 1976, is subject to review in

      (e) The Secretary may issue management decisions to implement land use
    plans developed or revised under this section in accordance with the
    following:

              (1) Such decisions, including but not limited to exclusions

            (that is, total elimination) of one or more of the principal or

            major uses made by a management decision shall remain subject to

            reconsideration, modification, and termination through revision

            by the Secretary or his delegate, under the provisions of this

            section, of the land use plan involved.

              (2) Any management decision or action pursuant to a management

            decision that excludes (that is, totally eliminates) one or more

            of the principal or major uses for two or more years with

            respect to a tract of land of one hundred thousand acres or more

            shall be reported by the Secretary to the House of

            Representatives and the Senate. If within ninety days from the

            giving of such notice (exclusive of days on which either House

            has adjourned for more than three consecutive days), the

            Congress adopts a concurrent resolution of nonapproval of the

            management decision or action, then the management decision or

            action shall be promptly terminated by the Secretary. If the

            committee to which a resolution has been referred during the

            said ninety day period has not reported it at the end of thirty

            calendar days after its referral, it shall be in order to either

            discharge the committee from further consideration of such

            resolution or to discharge the committee from consideration of

            any other resolution with respect to the management decision or

            action. A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual

            favoring the resolution, shall be highly privileged (except that

            it may not be made after the committee has reported such a

            resolution), and debate thereon shall be limited to not more

            than one hour, to be divided equally between those favoring and

            those opposing the resolution. An amendment to the motion shall

            not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to

            reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or

            disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is agreed to or

    [[Page 1085]]
            disagreed to, the motion may not be

            made with respect to any other resolution with respect to the same

            management decision or action. When the committee has reported,

            or has been discharged from further consideration of a

            resolution, it shall at any time thereafter be in order (even

            though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed

            to) to move to proceed to the consideration of the resolution.

            The motion shall be highly privileged and shall not be

            debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and

            it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which

            the motion was agreed to or disagreed to.

    effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of

    debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it
    shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion
    was agreed to or disagreed to.

      Sec. 203. * * * (c) Where a tract of the public lands in excess of two
    thousand five hundred acres has been designated for sale, such sale may
    be made only after the end of the ninety days (not counting days on
    which the House of Representatives or the Senate has adjourned for more
    than three consecutive days) beginning on the day the Secretary has
    submitted notice of such designation to the Senate and the House of
    Representatives, and then only if the Congress has not adopted a
    concurrent resolution stating that such House does not approve of such
    designation. If the committee to which a resolution has been referred
    during the said ninety day period has not reported it at the end of
    thirty calendar days after its referral, it shall be in order to either
    discharge the committee from further consideration of such resolution or
    to discharge the committee from consideration of any other resolution
    with respect to the designation. A motion to discharge may be made only
    by an individual favoring the resolution, shall be highly privileged
    (except that it may not be made after the committee has reported such a
    resolution), and debate thereon shall be limited to not more than one
    hour, to be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing
    the resolution. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it
    shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion
    was agreed to or disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is agreed to

    has been discharged from further consideration of a resolution, it shall
    at any time thereafter be in order (even though a previous motion to the
    same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the
    consideration of the resolution. The motion shall be highly privileged
    and shall not be debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in
    order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by
    which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to.

      Sec. 204. * * * (c)(1) On and after the dates of approval of this Act
    a withdrawal aggregating five thousand acres or more may be made (or
    such a withdrawal or any other withdrawal involving the aggregate five
    thousand acres or more which terminates after such date of approval may
    be extended) only for a period of not more than twenty years by the
    Secretary on his own motion or upon request by a department or agency
    head. The Secretary shall notify both Houses of Congress of such a
    withdrawal no later than its effective date and the withdrawal shall
    terminate and become effective at the end of ninety days (not counting
    days on which the Senate or the House of Representatives has adjourned
    for more than three consecutive days) beginning on the day notice of
    such withdrawal has been submitted to the Senate and to the House of
    Representatives, if the Congress has adopted a concurrent resolution
    stating that such House does not approve the withdrawal. If the
    committee to which a resolution has been referred during the said ninety
    day period has not reported it at the end of thirty calendar days after
    its referral, it shall be in order to either discharge the committee
    from further consideration of such resolution or to discharge the
    committee from consideration of any other resolution with respect to the
    Presidential recommendation. A motion to discharge may be made only by
    an individual favoring the resolution, shall be highly privileged
    (except that it may not be made after the committee has reported such a
    resolution), and debate thereon shall be limited to not more than one
    hour, to be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing
    the resolution. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it
    shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion
    was agreed to or disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is agreed to

      Sec. 204. * * * (l)(1) The Secretary shall, within fifteen years of
    October 21, 1976, review withdrawals existing on the date of approval of
    this Act, in the States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
    Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming of
    (1) all Federal lands other than withdrawals of the public lands
    administered by the Bureau of Land Management and of lands which, on the
    date of approval of this Act, were part of Indian reservations and other
    Indian holdings, the National Forest System, the National Park System,
    the National Wildlife Refuge System, other lands administered by the
    Fish and Wildlife Service or the Secretary through the Fish and Wildlife
    Service, the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and the National
    System of Trails; and (2) all public lands administered by the Bureau of
    Land Management and of lands in the National Forest System (except those
    in wilderness areas, and those areas formally identified as primitive or
    natural areas or designated as national recreation areas) which closed
    the lands to appropriation under the Mining Law of 1872 (17 Stat. 91, as
    amended; 30 U.S.C. 22 et seq.) or to leasing under the Mineral Leasing
    Act of 1920 (41 Stat. 437, as amended; 30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.).

    ments or agencies which administer the lands. The President shall
    transmit this report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of
    the House of Representatives, together with his recommendations for
    action by the Secretary, or for legislation. The Secretary may act to
    terminate withdrawals other than those made by Act of the Congress in
    accordance with the recommendations of the President unless before the
    end of ninety days (not counting days on which the Senate and the House
    of Representatives has adjourned for more than three consecutive days)
    beginning on the day the report of the President has been submitted to
    the Senate and the House of Representatives the Congress has adopted a
    concurrent resolution indicating otherwise. If the committee to which a
    resolution has been referred during the said ninety day period has not
    reported it at the end of thirty calendar days after its referral, it
    shall be in order to either discharge the committee from further
    consideration of such resolution or to discharge the committee from
    consideration of any other resolution with respect to the Presidential
    recommendation. A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual
    favoring the resolution, shall be highly privileged (except that it may
    not be made after the committee has reported such a resolution), and
    debate thereon shall be limited to not more than one hour, to be divided
    equally between those favoring and those opposing the resolution. An
    amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in
    order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to
    or disagreed to. If the motion to discharge is agreed to or disagreed
    to, the motion may not be made with respect to any other resolution with
    respect to the same Presidential recommendation. When the committee has
    reported, or has been discharged from further consideration of a
    resolution, it shall at any time thereafter be in order (even though a
    previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to
    proceed to the consideration of the resolution. The motion shall be
    highly privileged and shall not be debatable. An amendment to the motion
    shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to
    reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to.

      (2) In the review required by paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
    Secretary shall determine whether, and for how long, the continuation of
    the existing withdrawal of the lands would be, in his judgment,
    consistent with the statutory objectives of the programs for which the
    lands were dedicated and of the other relevant programs. The Secretary
    shall report his recommendations to the President, together with

            of the House, but applicable only with respect to the procedure

            to be followed in the House in the case of resolutions of

            repository siting approval, and such provisions supersede other

            rules of the House only to the extent that they are inconsistent

            with such other rules; and

              (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of the

            House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure

            of the House) at any time, in the same manner and to the same

            extent as in the case of any other rule of the House.

      (2) Resolutions of repository siting approval shall, upon
    introduction, be immediately referred by the Speaker of the House to the

    referred shall be discharged from further consideration of such
    resolution, and such resolution shall be referred to the appropriate
    calendar, unless such resolution or an identical resolution was pre

      (4) It shall be in order for the Speaker to recognize a Member
    favoring a resolution to call up a resolution of repository siting
    approval after it has been on the appropriate calendar for 5 legislative

    its immediate consideration and the Speaker shall recognize the Member
    calling up such resolution and a Member opposed to such resolution for 2
    hours of debate in the House, to be equally divided and controlled by
    such Members. When such time has expired, the previous question shall be
    considered as ordered on the resolution to adoption without intervening
    motion. No amendment to any such resolution shall be in order, nor shall
    it be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which such resolution
    is agreed to or disagreed to.

                    resolutions of the House with respect to such site shall

                    be the same as if no resolution from the Senate with

                    respect to such site had been received; but

                      (ii) on any vote on final passage of a resolution of

                    the House with respect to such site, a resolution from

                    the Senate with respect to such site where the text is

                    identical shall be automatically substituted for the

                    resolution of the House.

                    of either House to change the rule (so far as relating
