      Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4276) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the 
 Judiciary, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 
                   30, 1999, and for other purposes.

    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. 4276) making 
appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the 
Judiciary, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 
30, 1999, 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. 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 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consideration of 
the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill 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.
