[H. Res. 338 Engrossed in House (EH)]

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                      October 21, 1999.
    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. 2300) to allow a State to combine certain funds to improve the 
academic achievement of all its students. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not 
exceed two hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce. 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 Education and the Workforce now printed in the 
bill, modified by the amendments printed in part A of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the nature of 
a substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against that amendment 
in the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 4 of rule XXI 
are waived. No amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall 
be in order except those printed in part B of the report of the Committee on 
Rules. Each amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the report, 
may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as 
read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in 
the House or in the Committee of the Whole. 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 instruction.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
