106TH CONGRESS REPORT " ! HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1st Session 106–127

PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 1664, THE

‘‘KOSOVO AND SOUTHWEST ASIA EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1999’’

MAY 5, 1999.—Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed

Mrs. MYRICK, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the

following

REPORT

[To accompany H. Res. 159]

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House

Resolution 159, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to the House

with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF RESOLUTION

The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 1664, the

‘‘Kosovo and Southwest Asia Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999,’’ under an open rule. The rule provides one hour

of general debate divided equally between the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.

The rule waives points of order against consideration of the bill

for failure to comply with clause 4 of rule XIII (requiring a threeday layover of the committee report and requiring three-day availability of printed hearings on a general appropriations bill) and

section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (prohibiting

consideration of legislation within the Budget Committee’s jurisdiction, unless reported by the Budget Committee).

The rule waives points of order against provisions in the bill for

failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized or legislative appropriations in a general appropriations bill).

The rule provides that before consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order to consider the amendments printed in

this report.

The rule provides that amendments made in order may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified, shall not be

subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for a
2

division of the question in the House or the Committee of the

Whole. The rule waives all points of order against amendments

printed in this report.

The rule waives points of order during consideration of the bill

against amendments for failure to comply with clause 2(e) of rule

XXI (prohibiting non-emergency designated amendments to be offered to an appropriations bill containing an emergency designation).

The rule authorizes the Chair to accord priority in recognition to

Members who have pre-printed their amendments in the Congressional Record. The rule allows for the Chairman of the Committee

of the Whole to postpone votes during consideration of the bill, and

to reduce voting time to five minutes on a postponed question if the

vote follows a fifteen minute vote. Finally, the rule provides one

motion to recommit with or without instructions.

The waiver of clause 4 of Rule XIII (requiring a three-day layover

of the committee report and requiring three-day availability of

printed hearings on a general appropriations bill) against consideration of the bill is necessary because the report was filed on Tuesday, May 4, and the bill is scheduled for consideration on the floor

as early as Thursday, May 6. Also, the printed hearings regarding

the emergency appropriations contained in this bill are not available. The waiver of section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act

(prohibiting consideration of legislation within the Budget Committee’s jurisdiction, unless reported by the Budget Committee)

against consideration of the bill is necessary because the bill as reported from the Appropriations Committee contains emergency designations pursuant to the Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

These provisions fall within the jurisdiction of the Budget Committee.

The waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized or

legislative appropriations in a general appropriations bill) against

provisions in the bill is necessary because the bill contains 16 provisions which are not authorized by law and 67 provisions which

are legislative in nature. Many of the legislative changes are technical corrections to the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 1999. These

provisions are listed on pages 25–29 in the Appropriations Committee report. The bill also contains both non-emergency and emergency provisions.

Included in the waiver of all points of order against amendments

printed in this report are waivers for the following reasons: (1) section 306 of the Congressional Budget Act is necessary against both

the Obey amendment and the Coburn amendment for the same

reason as for consideration of the bill; (2) clause 2 of rule XXI is

necessary for the Obey amendment for a similar reason that it is

waived against provisions in the bill; and (3) clause 7 of rule XVI

(prohibiting nongermane amendments) is necessary because the

Obey amendment contains the provisions of H.R. 1141, the Hurricane Mitch supplemental, the provisions of which are not germane

to the Kosovo supplemental.

The waiver of clause 2(e) of rule XXI (prohibiting non-emergency

designated amendments to be offered to an appropriations bill containing an emergency designation) against amendments is necessary because the Supplemental Appropriations bill contains nu-
3

merous emergency designations under the Budget Act. Offering an

amendment containing an emergency designation would in turn

violate section 306 of the Budget Act. Consequently, in order for

any amendments to be offered to this bill, this prohibition needs to

be waived.

SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER TO H.R. 1664 EMERGENCY

KOSOVO SUPPLEMENTAL FOR FY 1999

Latham—40 minutes: The amendment is identical to the funding

provided in the Hurricane Mitch supplemental for the urgent needs

in Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund Program. Specifically, the

amendment provides $105.6 million in appropriations to support

over $1 billion in farm loans and $4 million in administrative expenses. The amendment is paid for with offsets passed by the

House in the Hurricane Mitch supplemental. The offsets do not include any reduction in Callable Capital appropriations.

Coburn/Toomey/Sanford—20 minutes: Offsets the bill by requiring OMB to perform an across-the-board cut of all FY 2000 nondefense discretionary spending equal to the amount of the bill

minus the amount of NATO reimbursements. If no reimbursements

are secured the amendment would result in an approximate 5 percent across-the-board cut and exempts programs exempted under

current law, such as WIC nutrition programs, and caps the reduction at 2 percent for Community Health Centers, Migrant Health

Centers, Indian Health Facilities, etc.

Obey—40 minutes: Kosovo Supplemental—Provides the Presi- dent’s request of $6.05 billion for Kosovo, adds $1.9 billion for military pay and authorizing the pay increase, provides additional $1.2

billion for FY 1999 Defense operation and maintenance, provides

$400 million for Rapid Reaction procurement, provides $462 million

for Munitions, provides $20 million or Kosovo related Construction

projects, provides $175 million for emergency food assistance. Hurricane Mitch/Agriculture Supplemental—$526 million for agriculture programs (an additional $374 million above H.R. 1141),

$962 million for Hurricane Mitch disaster relief programs (identical

to H.R. 1141), $100 million for Jordan (identical to H.R. 1141), $74

million for miscellaneous domestic programs (similar to original
4

H.R. 1141), rescissions totaling $174 million to pay for non-emergencies, technical corrections to FY 1999 Omnibus Appropriations

bill (identical to H.R. 1141).
