        in which the Act involved originated shall introduce (by 
        request) the draft bill or joint resolution accompanying that 
        special message. If the bill or joint resolution is not 
        introduced as provided in the preceding sentence, then, on the 
        third day of continuous session of that House after the date of 
        receipt of that special message, any Member of that House may

        joint resolution, and the bill or joint resolution shall be 
        placed on the appropriate calendar.

        resolution shall be taken in that House on or before the close 
        of the 10th calendar day of continuous session of that House 
        after the date of the introduction of the bill or joint 
        resolution in that House. If the bill or joint resolution is 
        agreed to, the Clerk of the House of Representatives (in the 
        case of a bill or joint resolution agreed to in the House of 
        Representatives) or the Secretary of the Senate (in the case of 
        a bill or joint resolution agreed to in the Senate) shall cause

        transmitted to the other House of Congress on the same calendar 
        day on which the bill or joint resolution is agreed to.
            ``(2)(A) A bill or joint resolution transmitted to the 
        House of Representatives or the Senate pursuant to paragraph 
        (1)(C) shall be referred to the committee or committees of 
        jurisdiction of that House. The committee or committees shall 
        report the bill or joint resolution without substantive 
        revision and with or without recommendation. The bill or joint 
        resolution shall be reported not later than the seventh day of 
        continuous session of that House after it receives the bill or 
        joint resolution. A committee failing to report the bill or 
        joint resolution within such period shall be automatically 
        discharged from consideration of the bill or joint resolution, 
        and the bill or joint resolution shall be placed upon the 
        appropriate calendar.
            ``(B) A vote on final passage of a bill or joint resolution 
        transmitted to that House shall be taken on or before the close 
        of the 10th calendar day of continuous session of that House 
        after the date on which the bill or joint resolution is

        proceed to the consideration of a bill or joint resolution 
        under this section shall be highly privileged and not

        controlled by the minority leader or his designee. Such 
        leaders, or either of them, may, from time under their control 
        on the passage of a bill or joint resolution, allot additional 
        time to any Senator during the consideration of any debatable 
        motion or appeal.
            ``(D) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate on a
