H. Res. 224
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
September 20, 1995.
Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this res-
olution 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 consideration of
the bill (H.R. 2274) to amend title 23, United States Code,
to designate the National Highway System, and for other
purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with.
Points of order against consideration of the bill for failure to
comply with 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 con-
trolled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. After gen-
eral debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under
the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendment recommended
by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure now
printed in the bill, it shall be in order to consider as an origi-
nal bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute
•HRES 224 EH
rule an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting
of the text of H.R. 2349. That amendment in the nature of
a substitute shall be considered by title rather than by sec-
tion. The first two sections and each title shall be considered
as read. Points of order against that amendment in the na-
ture of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 1(q)(10)
of rule X, clause 5(a) of rule XXI, or section 302(f) of the
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. Before consid-
eration of any other amendment it shall be in order to con-
sider the amendment printed in the report of the Committee
on Rules accompanying this resolution, if offered by Rep-
resentative Shuster of Pennsylvania or his designee. That
amendment shall be considered as read, may amend portions
of the bill not yet read for amendment, shall be debatable for
ten minutes 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 that amendment are waived. After disposi-
tion of that amendment, the provisions of the bill as then per-
fected shall be considered as original text. During further
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 Congres-
•HRES 224 EH
sional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule
XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read.
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. Any Member
may demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment
adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the
amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as
original text. 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.
Attest:
Clerk.
