                               RESOLUTION

 
 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 4945) to amend the 
    Small Business Act to strengthen existing protections for small 
business participation in the Federal procurement contracting process, 
                        and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4945) to amend the Small 
Business Act to strengthen existing protections for small business 
participation in the Federal procurement contracting process, and for 
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 
Points of order against consideration of the bill for failure to comply 
with clause 4(a) of rule XIII are waived. General debate shall be 
confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
on Small Business. After general debate the bill shall be considered 
for amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill shall be considered 
as read. During consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman 
of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the 
basis of whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be 
printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that 
purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be 
considered as read. 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 five 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 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 one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
