                               RESOLUTION

 
      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4578) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related agencies 
 for the fiscal year ending September 30, 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. 4578) making 
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and related agencies 
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, and for other purposes. 
The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of 
order against consideration of the bill 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 Appropriations. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. Points of order 
against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of 
rule XXI are waived except as follows: beginning with ``: Provided 
further'' on page 18, line 6, through line 19. Where points of order 
are waived against part of a paragraph, points of order against a 
provision in another part of such paragraph may be made only against 
such provision and not against the entire paragraph. 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 proposed 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. During consideration of 
the bill, points of order against amendments for failure to comply with 
clause 2(e) of rule XXI are waived. 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. 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.
