    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution,

Revenue Code of 1986 to expand the incentives for the construction and 
renovation of public schools and to provide tax incentives for 
corporations to participate in cooperative agreements with public 
schools in distressed areas. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall 
not exceed 90 minutes, with 60 minutes to be equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
on Ways and Means and 30 minutes to be equally divided and controlled

subsidized financing made available in the bill. The Chairman of the 
Committee of the Whole may--
            (1) postpone until a time during further consideration in 
        the Committee of the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any 
        amendment; and
            (2) reduce to 5 minutes the minimum time for electronic 
        voting on any postponed question that follows another 
        electronic vote without intervening business: Provided, That 
        the minimum time for electronic voting on the first in any 
        series of questions shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion of 
        consideration of the bill for amendment, the Committee shall 
        rise and report the bill to the House of Representatives 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 1 
        motion to recommit with or without instructions.

SEC. 2. FAILURE OF COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE TO REACH RESOLUTION ON BILL.

    If 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 
of Representatives shall, immediately after the third daily order of 
business under clause 1 of rule XIV, resolve into the Committee of the 
Whole for further consideration of the bill.
