 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 300) to amend title 
   II of the Social Security Act to eliminate the earnings test for 
             individuals who have attained retirement age.

    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. 300) to 
amend title II of the Social Security Act to eliminate the earnings 
test for individuals who have attained retirement age, the first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with, and all points of order 
against the bill and against its consideration are waived. After 
general debate which shall be confined to the bill and the amendments 
made in order by this resolution, and which shall not exceed one hour 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Ways and Means, the bill shall be considered 
as read for amendment under the five-minute rule. No amendment to the 
bill shall be in order except the following amendments: (1) an 
amendment in the nature of a substitute by the chairman of the 
Committee on Ways and Means; and (2) an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute by Representative Hastert of Illinois. Each amendment shall 
be in order notwithstanding the adoption of a previous amendment in the 
nature of a substitute. Each amendment shall be in order only if 
printed in the Congressional Record at least three legislative days 
prior to its consideration, and shall be considered as read. Each 
amendment may be offered only in the order designated, may be offered 
only by the named proponent, or a designee, shall be debatable for one 
hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, 
shall not be subject to further amendment, and all points of order 
against each amendment are hereby waived. If more than one amendment is 
adopted, only the amendment receiving the most favorable votes shall be 
considered as finally adopted and reported to the House.
    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 approval of the Journal, resolve 
into the Committee of the Whole for further consideration of the bill.
    At the conclusion of the consideration of the bill for amendment 
the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such 
amendment as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the bill and any amendment thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit, with 
or without instructions.
