In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
June 8, 2000.
Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this res-
olution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule
XVIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of
the bill (H.R. 4577) making appropriations for the Depart-
ments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education,
and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2001, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill
shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consider-
ation 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. The amendments printed in part A of the report of the
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be
considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of
the Whole. Points of order against provisions in the bill, as
•HRES 518 EH
amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are
waived except as follows: beginning with ‘‘: Provided’’ on page
44, line 4, through ‘‘as amended’’ on line 14. 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. The amendment printed in part B of the
report of the Committee on Rules 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
amendment printed in part B of the report are waived. Dur-
ing consideration of the bill for further 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 8 of rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be con-
sidered as read. The Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole may: (1) postpone until a time during further consid-
eration in the Committee of the Whole a request for a re-
•HRES 518 EH
corded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five min-
utes the minimum time for electronic voting on any post-
poned 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. During consideration of the bill, points of
order against amendments for failure to comply with clause
2(e) of rule XXI are waived. At the conclusion of consider-
ation of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and
report the bill, as amended, to the House with such further
amendments as may have been adopted. The previous ques-
tion shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amend-
ments thereto to final passage without intervening motion ex-
cept one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
