   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1401) to authorize 
 appropriations for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 for military activities 
of the Department of Defense, to prescribe military personnel strengths 
         for fiscal years 2000 and 2001, and for the purposes.

    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. 1401) to authorize 
appropriations for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 for military activities 
of the Department of Defense, to prescribe military personnel strengths 
for fiscal years 2000 and 2001, 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 Armed Services. After general debate the bill shall be considered 
for amendment under the five-minute rule.
    Sec. 2. (a) It shall be in order to consider as an original bill 
for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Armed 
Services now printed in the bill, modified by the amendment printed in 
part A of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered as read. All points of order against that amendment in the 
nature of a substitute are waived.
    (b) No further amendment to the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute made in order as original text shall be in order except the 
amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
this resolution, amendments en bloc described in section 3 of this 
resolution, and pro forma amendments offered by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed Services for the 
purpose of debate.
    (c) Except as specified in section 5 of this resolution, each 
amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules shall be 
considered only in the order printed in the report, may be offered only 
by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, and 
shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the 
House or in the Committee of the Whole. Unless otherwise specified in 
the report, each amendment printed in the report shall be debatable for 
10 minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent and shall not be subject to amendment (except that the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed Services 
each may offer one pro forma amendment for the purpose of further 
debate on any pending amendment).
    (d) All points of order against amendments printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules or amendments en bloc described in section 3 of 
this resolution are waived.
    (e) The first time after the legislative day of May 27, 1999, the 
Speaker declares the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole 
House on the state of the Union for further consideration of H.R. 1401 
an additional period of general debate shall be in order, which 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 Armed Services.
    Sec. 3. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the 
Committee on Armed Services or his designee to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments printed in part C of the report of the 
Committee on Rules not earlier disposed of or germane modifications of 
any such amendment. Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this section 
shall be considered as read (except that modifications shall be 
reported), shall be debatable for 20 minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
on Armed Services or their designees, 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. For the purpose 
of inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the 
form of a motion to strike may be modified to the form of a germane 
perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be stricken. 
The original proponent of an amendment included in such amendments en 
bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately 
before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
    Sec. 4. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) 
postpone until a time during further consideration in the Committee of 
the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) 
reduce to five minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any 
postponed question that follows another electronic vote without 
intervening business, provided that the minimum time for electronic 
voting on the first in any series of questions shall be 15 minutes.
    Sec. 5. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may recognize 
for consideration of any amendment printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules out of the order printed, but not sooner than one 
hour after the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services or a 
designee announces from the floor a request to that effect.
    Sec. 6. 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. Any Member may demand a 
separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the Committee of 
the Whole to the bill or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text. 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.
