   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1184) to authorize 
appropriations for carrying out the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 
      1977 for fiscal years 2000 and 2001, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1184) to authorize 
appropriations for carrying out the Earthquake Hazards Reduction Act of 
1977 for fiscal years 2000 and 2001, and for other purposes. The first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order against 
consideration of the bill for failure to comply with clause 4(a) of 
rule XIII are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and 
shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Science. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider as an original bill 
for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Science 
now printed in the bill. Each section of the committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. During 
consideration of the bill for amendment, the chairman of the Committee 
of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis of whether 
the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the 
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in 
clause 8 of the rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered 
as read. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone 
until a time during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole 
a request for a recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five 
minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any postponed 
question that follows another electronic vote without intervening 
business, provided that the minimum time for electronic voting on the 
first in any series of questions shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion 
of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and 
report the bill to the House with such amendments as may have been 
adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any 
amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments 
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions.
