RESOLUTION
Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 3266) to
provide for automatic downward adjustments in the dis-
cretionary spending limits for fiscal year 1994 set forth
in the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 equal to the
amount of rescissions contained in this Act.
Resolved, That immediately following the approval of
the Journal on any of the next five legislative days of
House session, it shall be in order as a matter of the high-
est privilege for Representative Andrews of New Jersey,
or a designee, to move that the House resolve itself into
the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the
Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 3266) to pro-
•HRES 300 IH
vide for automatic downward adjustments in the discre-
tionary spending limits for fiscal year 1994 set forth in
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 equal to the
amount of rescissions contained in this Act, the first read-
ing of the bill shall be dispensed with, and all points of
order against the bill and its consideration are waived.
After general debate, which shall be confined to the bill
and which shall not exceed one hour, to be equally divided
and controlled by Representative Andrews of New Jersey
and a Member opposed thereto, the bill shall be considered
for amendment under the five-minute rule, and each sec-
tion shall be considered as having been read. The amend-
ment printed in section 3 of this resolution shall be consid-
ered as having been adopted in the House and in the Com-
mittee of the Whole. No amendment to the bill shall be
in order unless printed in the Congressional Record at
least one day prior to its consideration. It shall be in order
to consider any such amendment to the bill that would
have the effect of reducing budget authority or outlays and
all points of order against any such amendment are hereby
waived, except that any amendment to the bill that does
not have the effect of reducing budget authority or outlays
or in which such reduction is merely an incidental provi-
sion shall not be in order. No amendment to an amend-
ment shall be in order unless germane to the amendment
•HRES 300 IH
to which it is offered. At the conclusion of the consider-
ation 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 considered as ordered on the bill and amendments
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except
one motion to recommit. Once the bill is taken up, it shall
remain the unfinished business as a matter of the highest
privilege on each succeeding day immediately after the ap-
proval of the Journal until finally disposed of.
SEC. 2. For the purpose of amendments made in
order by this resolution, the levels of budget authority and
outlays for a fiscal year shall be determined on the basis
of estimates made by the Committee on the Budget.
SEC. 3. The amendment considered as adopted in the
House and in the Committee of the Whole is as follows:
After section 101, insert the following new section:
‘‘SEC. 102. PAYGO SCORECARD.
‘‘Reductions in outlays in a fiscal year resulting from
any provision in this Act shall not be taken into account
for any purpose under section 252 of the Balanced Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.’’.
