Providing for consideration of the concurrent resolution (H.

under any constitutional amendment requiring a bal-
anced budget and providing for consideration of the joint
resolution (H.J. Res. 1) proposing a balanced budget

Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this
resolution it shall be in order to consider in the House
the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 17) relating to
HRES 44 RH
the treatment of Social Security under any constitutional
amendment requiring a balanced budget, if called up by
the majority leader or his designee. The concurrent resolu-
tion shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and
controlled by the majority leader and the minority leader
or their designees. The previous question shall be consid-
ered as ordered on the concurrent resolution to final adop-
tion without intervening motion.
SEC. 2. At any time after the disposition of the con-
current resolution made in order by the first section of
this resolution, the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b)
of rule XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Com-
mittee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for
consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 1) propos-
ing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution of
the United States. The first reading of the joint resolution
shall be dispensed with. Points of order against consider-
ation of the joint resolution for failure to comply with
clause 2(g)(3) of rule XI are waived. General debate shall
be confined to the joint resolution and shall not exceed
three hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman
and ranking minority member of the Committee on the
Judiciary. After general debate the joint resolution shall
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule.
The amendment in the nature of a substitute rec-
HRES 44 RH
ommended by the Committee on the Judiciary now printed
in the joint resolution shall be considered as read, shall
be debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled
by Representative Barton of Texas and an opponent, and
shall not be subject to amendment while pending. No fur-
ther amendment shall be in order except those designated
in section 3 of this resolution. Each amendment may be
offered only in the order designated, may be offered only
by the named proponent or a designee, may be considered
notwithstanding the adoption of a previous amendment in
the nature of a substitute, shall be considered as read,
shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and con-
trolled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not
be subject to amendment. If more than one amendment
is adopted, then only the one receiving the greater number
of affirmative votes shall be considered as finally adopted.
In the case of a tie for the greater number of affirmative
votes, then only the last amendment to receive that num-
ber of affirmative votes shall be considered as finally
adopted, except that if the amendment in the nature of
a substitute recommended by the Committee on the Judi-
ciary is one of the amendments receiving the greater num-
ber of votes then it shall be the amendment considered
as finally adopted. At the conclusion of consideration of
the joint resolution for amendment the Committee shall
HRES 44 RH
rise and report the joint resolution to the House with such
amendment as may have been finally adopted. The pre-
vious question shall be considered as ordered on the joint
resolution and any amendment thereto to final passage
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit
with or without instructions.
