Providing for the consideration of the Anti-Hypocrisy Deficit Reduction Act
of 1994 (H.R. 4623).
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 22, 1994
Mr. OBEY (for himself, Mr. SARPALIUS, Ms. SHEPHERD, Mr. BONIOR, Mr.
WISE, and Mr. DERRICK) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Rules
RESOLUTION
Providing for the consideration of the Anti-Hypocrisy Deficit
Reduction Act of 1994 (H.R. 4623).
Resolved, That immediately following the approval of
the Journal on any part of the next five legislative days
of House session, it shall be in order as a matter of highest
privilege for Representative Obey of Wisconsin, or a des-
ignee, to move that the House resolve itself into the Com-
mittee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for
the consideration of the Anti-Hypocrisy Deficit Reduction
Act of 1994 (H.R. 4623), and the first reading of the bill
shall be dispensed with. All points of order against the
bill and against its consideration are hereby waived. After
HRES 460 IH
general debate, which shall be confined to the bill and the
amendments made in order by this resolution, and which
shall not exceed two hours, one hour to be controlled by
Representative Obey of Wisconsin, and one hour to be con-
trolled by an opponent of the bill, the bill shall be consid-
ered as having been read for amendment under the five-
minute rule. No amendment to the bill shall be in order
except amendments which—
(1) are printed in the Congressional Record at
least five days prior to their consideration;
(2) would have the effect, either directly or in-
directly, of reducing budget authority or outlays for
projects for which appropriations have been made or
for which authorizations have been enacted, provided
such reductions are not merely incidental to the
amendment; and
(3) would strike a federally funded project in
the district represented by the author of the amend-
ment.
No amendment to an amendment shall be in order unless
germane to the amendment to which it is offered and
would comply with clauses (2) and (3) of the sentence im-
mediately preceding the preceding sentence. Debate on
any amendment to the bill, and all amendments thereto,
shall not exceed sixty minutes. Debate time on amend-
HRES 460 IH
ments to the bill for amendment under the five-minute
rule shall not exceed fifty-six hours, and it shall not be
in order to consider any motion which has the effect of
limiting the total debate time on amendments to less than
fifty-six hours. After the expiration of the fifty-six hours
for debate on amendments, no further amendments shall
be in order. If on any day the Committee of the Whole
rises and reports that it has come to no resolution on the
bill, then on the next legislative day the House shall, im-
mediately after the approval of the Journal, resolve into
the Committee of the Whole for further consideration of
the bill. At the conclusion of the 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 considered as or-
dered on the bill and any amendment thereto to final pas-
sage without intervening motion.
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.
