RESOLUTION
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3662) making
appropriations for the Department of the Interior and
related agencies for the fiscal year ending September
30, 1997, 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
of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 3662) making appropriations for
the Department of the Interior and related agencies for
HRES 455 RH
the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997, 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 clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI or clause
7 of rule XXI 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. Points of order against provi-
sions in the bill (other than section 117 and the first two
provisos under the heading ‘‘Strategic Petroleum Re-
serve’’) for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule
XXI are waived. Where points of order are waived against
part of a paragraph, points or order against a provision
in another part of such paragraph may be made only
against such provision and not against the entire para-
graph. An amendment striking the last proviso under the
heading ‘‘Strategic Petroleum Reserve’’ shall be consid-
ered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of
the Whole. 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 Congressional Record des-
HRES 455 RH
ignated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amend-
ments so printed shall be considered as read. The Chair-
man of the Committee 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 amend-
ment. 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 imme-
diately 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 of-
fered 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 consid-
ered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to
final passage without intervening motion except one mo-
tion to recommit with or without instructions.
