consideration of the bill (H.R. 1561) to consolidate the foreign affairs agencies of the

for the Department of State and related

agencies for fiscal years 1996 and 1997; to responsibly reduce the authorizations of appropriations for United States foreign assistance programs for fiscal years 1996 and 1997,

and for other purposes. The first reading of

the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of

order against consideration of the bill for

failure to comply with clause 2(l)(6) of rule

XI or section 302(f), 303(a), 308(a), or 402(a) of

the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are

waived. 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 International Relations. After

general debate the bill shall be considered

for amendment under the five-minute rule

for an initial period of ten hours. After such

initial period, amendments shall be debatable only as provided in clause 6 of rule

XXIII or in section 2 of this resolution. Consideration for amendment may not continue

beyond 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 25, 1995.

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 International Relations now

printed in the bill modified by deleting section 2210. The committee amendment in the

nature of a substitute as modified shall be

considered as read. Points of order against

the committee amendment in the nature of a

substitute as modified for failure to comply

with clause 5(a) of rule XXI or section 302(f),

303(a), or 402(a) of the Congressional Budget

Act of 1974 are waived. Other than pro forma

amendments for the purpose of debate and

amendments en bloc described in section 2 of

this resolution, no amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute as modified shall be in order unless

printed in the portion of the Congressional

Record designated for that purpose in clause

6 of rule XXIII. 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 committee amendment

in the nature of a substitute as modified.

The previous question shall be considered as

ordered on the bill and amendments thereto

en bloc offered pursuant to this section shall

be considered as read (except that modifications shall be reported), shall not be subject

to amendment or to a division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the

Whole and shall be debatable for ten minutes

equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the

Committee on International Relations or

their designees. For the purpose of inclusion

in such amendments en bloc, an amendment

printed in the form of a motion to strike

may be modified to the form of a germane

perfecting amendment to the text originally

proposed to be stricken. The original proponent of an amendment included in such

amendments en bloc may insert a statement

in the Congressional Record immediately before the disposition of the amendments en

bloc.

When said resolution was considered.

After debate,

On motion of Mr. GOSS, the previous

question was ordered on the resolution

The question being put, viva voce,

Will the House agree to said resolution?
