Mr. GOSS, from the Committee on Rules, reported the following resolution;
which was referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed
RESOLUTION
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3540) making
appropriations for foreign operations, export financing,
and related programs for the fiscal year ending Septem-
ber 30, 1997, 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 consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 3540) making appropriations for
foreign operations, export financing, and related programs
HRES 445 RH
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, and for
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dis-
pensed with. Points of order against consideration of the
bill for failure to comply with clause 1(b) of rule X or
clause 7 of rule XXI 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 mi-
nority member of the Committee on Appropriations. After
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment
under the five-minute rule. The bill shall be considered
by title rather than by paragraph. Each title shall be con-
sidered as read. Points of order against provisions in the
bill for failure to comply with clause 2, 5(b), or 6 of rule
XXI are waived except as follows: beginning with ‘‘: Pro-
vided’’ on page 9, line 12, through ‘‘Appropriations’’ on
line 18; and beginning with ‘‘: Provided’’ on page 13, line
20, through ‘‘relocation’’ on page 14, line 5. Where points
of order are waived against part of a paragraph, points
of order against a provision in another part of such para-
graph may be made only against such provision and not
against the entire paragraph. 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
HRES 445 RH
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 postpone
until a time during further consideration in the Committee
of the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any amend-
ment. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may
reduce to not less than five minutes the time for voting
by electronic device on any postponed question that imme-
diately follows another vote by electronic device without
intervening business, provided that the time for voting by
electronic device on the first in any series of questions
shall be not less than fifteen minutes. After the reading
of the final lines of the bill, a motion that the Committee
of the Whole rise and report the bill to the House with
such amendments as may have been adopted shall, if of-
fered by the majority leader or a designee, have precedence
over a motion to amend. 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 consid-
ered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to
final passage without intervening motion except one mo-
tion to recommit with or without instructions.
