Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4811) making

and related programs for the fiscal year ending Sep-
tember 30, 2001, and for other purposes.
Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this

ation of the bill (H.R. 4811) making appropriations for

foreign operations, export financing, and related programs
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, and for
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dis-
pensed with. All points of order against consideration of
the bill 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. When the reading for amendment reaches
section 587, that section shall be considered as read.
Points of order against provisions in the bill for failure
to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived except
as follows: beginning with ‘‘: Provided’’ on page 11, line
23, through page 12, line 8; page 80, lines 18 through
24; page 121, line 1, through page 122, line 12. 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. Before consideration of
any other amendment to section 587, it shall be in order
to consider, and to dispose of, an amendment to strike
that section. During consideration of the bill for amend-
ment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may
accord priority in recognition on the basis of whether the
HRES 546 RH
Member offering an amendment has caused it to be print-
ed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated
for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII. 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 elec-
tronic voting on any postponed question that follows an-
other electronic vote without intervening business, pro-
vided that the minimum time for electronic voting on the
first in any series of questions shall be 15 minutes. During
consideration of the bill, points of order against amend-
ments for failure to comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI
are waived. 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 or-
dered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit
with or without instructions.
