Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 2275) to reauthorize 
             and amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution, 
the House shall resolve itself into the Committee of the Whole House on 
the state of the Union for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 2275) to 
reauthorize and amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order 
against the bill and against its consideration are waived. General 
debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed two hours, 
with one hour to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Resources, and with one 
hour to be equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Agriculture. After general debate, 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule 
and shall be considered as read. No amendment shall be in order except 
an amendment to be offered by Representative Young of Alaska, Mr. 
Roberts of Kansas, Mr. Miller of California, and Mr. de la Garza of 
Texas. Each amendment may be offered only by the named proponent or a 
designee, 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. No amendment shall remain in order 
after the adoption of a previous amendment in the nature of a 
substitute. 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, immediately after the third daily 
order of business under clause 1 of rule XXIV, resolve into the 
Committee of the Whole for further consideration of the bill. 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.
