H. Res. 401

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 13, 1994.
    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 further consideration 
of the bill (H.R. 4092) to control and prevent crime. No further general debate 
shall be in order. The bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule and shall be considered as read. Except as provided in section 2 of 
this resolution, no amendment shall be in order except those printed in the 
report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment 
printed in the report may be offered only in the order printed, may be offered 
only by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided and controlled by 
the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment except as 
specified in the report, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of 
the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order 
against the amendments printed in the report are waived. If more than one of the 
following amendments printed in part 1 of the report relating to habeas corpus 
is adopted, only the last to be adopted shall be considered as finally adopted 
and reported to the House: by Representative Hyde of Illinois; and by 
Representative Derrick of South Carolina.
    Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the Committee 
on the Judiciary or his designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of 
amendments printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules or germane 
modifications of any such amendment. Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this 
section shall be considered as read (except that modifications shall be 
reported), shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary, 
shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for 
division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. 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. All points of order 
against such amendments en bloc are waived. 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.
    Sec. 3. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may postpone until a time 
during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for a 
recorded vote on any amendment made in order by this resolution. The chairman of 
the Committee of the Whole may reduce to not less than five minutes the time for 
voting by electronic device on any postponed question that immediately follows 
another vote by electronic device without intervening business, provided that 
the time for voting by electronic device on the first in any series of questions 
shall be not less than 15 minutes.
    Sec. 4. 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 finally 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.
    Sec. 5. After passage of H.R. 4092, it shall be in order to take from the 
Speaker's table the bill H.R. 3355, with a Senate amendment thereto, and to 
consider the Senate amendment in the House. It shall be in order to move to 
concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment inserting the text of H.R. 4092 
as passed by the House in lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the 
Senate. All points of order against that motion are waived. If the motion is 
adopted, then it shall be in order to move that the House insist on its 
amendments to the Senate amendment to H.R. 3355 and request a conference with 
the Senate thereon.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
