                               RESOLUTION

 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1655) to authorize 
 appropriations for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 for the civilian energy 
  and scientific research, development, and demonstration and related 
  commercial application of energy technology programs, projects, and 
    activities of the Department of Energy, 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. 1655) to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 for the civilian energy 
and scientific research, development, and demonstration and related 
commercial application of energy technology programs, projects, and 
activities of the Department of Energy, 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 purposes 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 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 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 Members 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.
