[From the U.S. Government Publishing Office]
[H. Res. 189 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 consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 2169) making appropriations for the Department of Transportation 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 clause 2(l)(6) of 
rule XI, clause 7 of rule XXI, or section 401(a) 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: on page 4, line 1, through line 6; 
beginning with ``, of which'' on page 10, line 20, through ``Fund'' on line 22; 
on page 52, line 8, through line 15; on page 53, line 3, through page 65, line 
6. 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 specified in 
section 2 of this resolution shall be considered as adopted in the House and in 
the Committee of the Whole. During consideration of the bill for further 
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. 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 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 amendments considered as adopted in the House and in the 
Committee of the Whole are as follows--
            (1) page 31, line 24, strike ``Staten Island-Midtown Ferry service 
        project'' and insert ``St. George Ferry terminal project''; and
            (2) page 60, strike line 13 and all that follows through page 65, 
        line 3, and redesignate the following section accordingly.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
