Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the
concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 95) establishing the congressional budget
for the United States Government for fiscal year 2004 and setting forth
appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2003 and 2005 through 2013. The
first reading of the concurrent resolution shall be dispensed with. All points
of order against consideration of the concurrent resolution are waived. General
debate shall not exceed three hours, with two hours of general debate confined
to the congressional budget equally divided and controlled by the chairman and
ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget, and one hour of general
debate on the subject of economic goals and policies equally divided and
controlled by Representative Saxton of New Jersey and Representative Stark of
California or their designees. After general debate the concurrent resolution
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The amendment in
the nature of a substitute specified in part A of the report of the Committee on
Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted in the House
and in the Committee of the Whole. The concurrent resolution, as amended, shall
be considered as read. No further amendment shall be in order except those
printed in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each amendment may be
offered only in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for
one hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and
shall not be subject to amendment. All points of order against the amendments
printed in the report are waived except that the adoption of a further amendment
in the nature of a substitute shall constitute the conclusion of consideration
of the concurrent resolution for amendment. After the conclusion of
consideration of the concurrent resolution for further amendment, and a final
period of general debate, which shall not exceed 20 minutes equally divided and
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the
Budget, the Committee shall rise and report the concurrent resolution, as
amended, to the House with such further amendment as may have been adopted. The
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the concurrent resolution
and amendments thereto to final adoption without intervening motion except
amendments offered by the chairman of the Committee on the Budget pursuant to
section 305(a)(5) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to achieve
mathematical consistency. The concurrent resolution shall not be subject to a
demand for division of the question of its adoption.
