HRES 456 RH
of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 3666) making appropriations for
the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and
Urban Development, and for sundry independent agencies,
boards, commissions, corporations, and offices for the fis-
cal year ending September 30, 1997, and for other pur-
poses. 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 302(f) 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
(other than sections 204 and 205) for failure to comply
with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are waived. The amendment
printed 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 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
HRES 456 RH
purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed
shall be considered as read. The Chairman of the Commit-
tee 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 amendment. 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 immediately 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 offered 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 considered as ordered on the
bill and amendments thereto to final passage without in-
tervening motion except one motion to recommit with or
without instructions.
SEC. 2. The amendment considered as adopted in the
House and in the Committee of the Whole is as follows:
