RESOLUTION
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4194) making

and Housing and Urban Development, and for sundry
independent agencies, boards, commissions, corporations,
and offices for the fiscal year ending September 30,
1999, 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
HRES 501 RH
of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 4194) 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, 1999, 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 section 306 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 gen-
eral debate the bill shall be considered for amendment
under the five-minute rule. The amendment printed in the
report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this reso-
lution shall be considered as adopted in the House and
in the Committee of the Whole. Points of order against
provisions in the bill, as amended, for failure to comply
with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are waived except as fol-
lows: page 88, line 16, through page 91, line 3. 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
HRES 501 RH
in the Congressional Record and numbered 12 pursuant
to clause 6 of rule XXIII may be offered only by Rep-
resentative Leach of Iowa or his designee, shall be consid-
ered as read, shall be debatable for 40 minutes equally
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent,
shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be sub-
ject to a demand for division of the question in the House
or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order
against that amendment are waived. During 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 amend-
ment has caused it to be printed in the portion of the Con-
gressional Record designated for that purpose in clause
6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be consid-
ered as read. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole
may: (1) postpone until a time during further consider-
ation in the Committee of the Whole a request for a re-
corded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five
minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any
postponed question that follows another electronic vote
without intervening business, provided that the minimum
time for electronic voting on the first in any series of ques-
tions shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consider-
ation of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise
HRES 501 RH
and report the bill, as amended, 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 intervening
motion except one motion to recommit with or without in-
structions.
