RESOLUTION
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2099) 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 fiscal year ending September 30,
1996, 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 201 RH
of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 2099) 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, 1996, and for other pur-
poses. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with.
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, and
the amendment printed in part 1 of the report of the Com-
mittee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be con-
sidered as pending. That amendment shall be considered
as read, shall be debatable for thirty minutes equally di-
vided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minor-
ity member of the Committee on Appropriations, 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. If that amendment is adopt-
ed, the provisions of the bill, as amended, shall be consid-
ered as the original bill for the purpose of further amend-
ment under the five-minute rule. Further consideration of
the bill for amendment shall proceed by title rather than
HRES 201 RH
by paragraph. Each title shall be considered as read.
Points of order against provisions in the bill for failure
to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are waived. All
points of order against amendments printed in part 2 of
the report of the Committee on Rules are waived. During
further consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chair-
man 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 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. 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.
