H. Res. 477

                 In the House of Representatives, U.S.,

                                                         June 19, 1998.
    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 4059) making appropriations for military construction, family 
housing, and base realignment and closure for the Department of Defense for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, and for other purposes. The first reading 
of the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 or 6 of rule XXI are waived. 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 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as 
read. 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. 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.
    Sec. 2. Pending the adoption by the Congress of a concurrent resolution on 
the budget for fiscal year 1999, the following allocations contemplated by 
section 302(a) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 shall be considered as 
made to the Committee on Appropriations:
            (1) New discretionary budget authority: $531,961,000,000.
            (2) Discretionary outlays: $562,277,000,000.
            (3) New mandatory budget authority: $298,105,000,000.
            (4) Mandatory outlays: $290,858,000,000.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
