[From the U.S. Government Publishing Office]
[H. Res. 193 Engrossed in House (EH)]

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 23, 1997.
    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 the further 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 2160) making appropriations for Agriculture, 
Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies programs 
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, and for other purposes. Points of 
order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of 
rule XXI are waived except as follows: page 56, line 18, through line 24; and 
page 68, line 12, through line 16. Where points of order are waived against part 
of a paragraph, points of order against a provision in another part of such 
paragraph may be made only against such provision and not against the entire 
paragraph. No further amendment shall be in order except amendments printed 
before July 22, 1997, in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for 
that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII, the amendments printed in the 
Congressional Record and numbered 21, 22, and 23 pursuant to clause 6 of rule 
XXIII, the amendment by Representative Obey of Wisconsin pending when the 
Committee of the Whole rose on July 22, 1997, one amendment by Representative 
Cox of California regarding assistance to the Democratic People's Republic of 
Korea, and the amendment printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 35 
pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII. Each amendment shall be considered as read 
and shall be debatable for ten minutes (except as otherwise provided in section 
2 of this resolution) equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent. 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 the minimum 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 fifteen minutes. After a 
motion that the Committee rise has been rejected on a day, the Chairman of the 
Committee of the Whole may entertain another such motion on that day only if 
offered by the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations or the Majority 
Leader or their designee. After a motion to strike out the enacting words of the 
bill (as described in clause 7 of rule XXIII) has been rejected, the Chairman of 
the Committee of the Whole may not entertain another such motion during further 
consideration of the bill. 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. 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.
    Sec. 2. The time for debate on the following amendments shall be thirty 
minutes:
            (1) the amendment by Representative Obey of Wisconsin pending when 
        the Committee of the Whole rose on July 22, 1997, which shall be 
        debatable for thirty minutes notwithstanding the time consumed on the 
        amendment on July 22, 1997;
            (2) the amendment numbered 17;
            (3) the amendment numbered 3; and
            (4) the amendment numbered 21.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
