What this bill does
H.Res. 604 is a procedural resolution, known as a "rule," that set the terms for the House of Representatives to debate and vote on two separate Senate bills. It did not itself change any law or policy. Instead, it established that each bill—S. 1132, concerning the Bandelier National Monument, and S. 2133, concerning the Route 66 corridor—would be considered as already read, would be debated for one hour (divided evenly between the majority and minority leaders of the Committee on Resources), and would be subject to only one motion to recommit before a final vote, without other procedural objections being allowed to block consideration.
This resolution affects the internal operations of the House rather than the public directly. Its practical effect was to clear the way for lawmakers to take up and vote on the Bandelier National Monument boundary bill, which concerned adding certain non-federal lands near the monument's watershed, and the Route 66 preservation bill, which concerned authorizing federal assistance for cultural preservation along that highway corridor.
The resolution was introduced and agreed to by the House on October 20, 1998, by a vote of 229–189. Because it is a simple resolution affecting only House procedure, its passage completed its own legislative journey; it does not go to the Senate or the President. Its adoption simply allowed the House to proceed to debate and vote on the two underlying bills, S. 1132 and S. 2133, separately.
