[H. Res. 701 Engrossed in House (EH)]
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
July 7, 2004.
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
bill (H.R. 4754) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice,
and State, the Judiciary, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2005, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall
be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill are
waived. 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. Points of order against
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are
waived except as follows: section 108; beginning with ``Provided'' on page 48,
line 13, through the colon on line 19; beginning with ``and'' on page 57, line
24, through page 58, line 2; section 603; beginning with ``or (6)'' on page 97,
line 21, through the semicolon on line 23; and section 607. Where points of
order are waived against part of a paragraph or section, points of order against
a provision in another part of such paragraph or section may be made only
against such provision and not against the entire paragraph or section. During
consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman 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 8 of rule XVIII.
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 considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to
final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or
without instructions.
Attest:
Clerk.
