   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 409) to improve the 
effectiveness and performance of Federal financial assistance programs, 
    simplify Federal financial assistance application and reporting 
   requirements, and improve the delivery of services to the public.

    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. 409) to improve the 
effectiveness and performance of Federal financial assistance programs, 
simplify Federal financial assistance application and reporting 
requirements, and improve the delivery of services to the public. 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 Government Reform. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. Each section of 
the bill 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. 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.
