[H. Res. 181 Engrossed in House (EH)]

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         July 10, 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 consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 2107) making appropriations for the Department of the Interior and 
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1998, 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 section 306 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 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 Appropriations. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule. 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: beginning with ``: 
Provided'' on page 46, line 25, through ``part 121'' on page 47, line 6; and 
page 76, line 10, through line 13. 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. The amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution may be offered only by a Member designated in the 
report and only at the appropriate point in the reading of the bill, 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, 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. During consideration of 
the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord 
priority in recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an amendment 
has caused it to be printed in the portion of the Congressional Record 
designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed 
shall be considered as read. 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. During consideration of the bill, points of order against 
amendments for failure to comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI are waived. 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
