                               RESOLUTION

 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2086) to authorize 
    funding for networking and information technology research and 
development for fiscal years 2000 through 2004, 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. 2086) to authorize 
funding for networking and information technology research and 
development for fiscal years 2000 through 2004, and for other purposes. 
The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate 
shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on 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, 
modified by striking section 8 (and redesignating succeeding sections 
accordingly). Each section of that 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 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 amendment in the nature of 
a substitute made in order as original text. 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.
