RESOLUTION
Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 3266) to
provide for automatic downward adjustments in the dis-
cretionary spending limits for fiscal year 1994 set forth
in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 equal to the
amount of rescissions contained in this Act.
Resolved, That immediately following the approval of
the Journal on any of the next five legislative days of
House session, it shall be in order as a matter of the high-
est privilege for Representative Andrews of New Jersey,
or a designee, to move that the House resolve itself into
the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the
Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 3266) to pro-
•HRES 459 IH
vide for automatic downward adjustments in the discre-
tionary spending limits for fiscal year 1994 set forth in
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 equal to the
amount of rescissions contained in this Act, the first read-
ing of the bill shall be dispensed with, and all points of
order against the bill and its consideration are waived.
After general debate, which shall be confined to the bill
and which shall not exceed one hour, to be equally divided
and controlled by Representative Andrews of New Jersey
and a Member opposed thereto, the bill shall be considered
for amendment under the five-minute rule, and each sec-
tion shall be considered as having been read. No amend-
ment to the bill shall be in order unless printed in the
Congressional Record at least two days prior to its consid-
eration. It shall be in order to consider any such amend-
ment to the bill that would have the effect of reducing
budget authority or outlays and all points of order against
any such amendment are hereby waived, except that any
amendment to the bill that does not have the effect of re-
ducing budget authority or outlays or in which such reduc-
tion is merely an incidental provision shall not be in order.
No amendment to an amendment shall be in order unless
germane to the amendment to which it is offered. At the
conclusion of the consideration of the bill for amendment,
the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House
•HRES 459 IH
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 in-
tervening motion except one motion to recommit. Once the
bill is taken up, it shall remain the unfinished business
as a matter of the highest privilege on each succeeding
day immediately after the approval of the Journal until
finally disposed of.
SEC. 2. For the purpose of amendments made in
order by this resolution, the levels of budget authority and
outlays for a fiscal year shall be determined on the basis
of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget.
