              REQUIREMENT.

    Clause 17(a)(5) of rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives is amended by striking ``or spouse has no financial 
interest in such congressional earmark or limited tax or tariff 
benefit'' and inserting ``or spouse, any immediate family member, or 
any entity in which any of the foregoing holds a material financial 
interest has no direct or indirect financial interest in such 
congressional earmark or limited tax or tariff benefit, including any 
interest arising from the ownership of any business asset that could 
reasonably be expected to appreciate in value due to such earmark as a 
result of such asset's proximity to the intended location of the 
activity.''.
