para.130.23  providing for the consideration of h.r. 2259

  Ms. PRYCE, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 237):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 2259) to disapprove certain sentencing 
     guideline amendments. 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(1)(2)(B) of rule XI 
     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 
     the Judiciary. After general debate the bill shall be 
     considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. An 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
     text of S. 1254, as passed by the Senate, shall be considered 
     as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. 
     The bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original 
     bill for the purpose of further amendment under the five-
     minute rule. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as 
     read. No further amendment shall be in order except the 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in the report 
     of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, which 
     may be offered only by Representative Conyers of Michigan or 
     his designee, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable 
     for one hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
     and an opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. At 
     the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment the 
     Committee shall rise and report the bill, as amended, to the 
     House with such further amendment as may have been adopted. 
     The previous question shall be considered as ordered on the 
     bill, as amended, and any amendment thereto to final passage 
     without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
     or without instructions.
       Sec. 2. After passage of H.R. 2259, it shall be in order to 
     take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 1254 and to 
     consider the Senate bill in the House. All points of order 
     against the Senate bill and against it consideration are 
     waived. It shall be in order to move to strike all after the 
     enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu 
     thereof the provisions of H.R. 2259 as passed by the House. 
     All points of order against that motion are waived. If the 
     motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, 
     then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on 
     its amendment to S. 1254 and request a conference with the 
     Senate thereon.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Ms. PRYCE, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof, 
the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
