para.63.11  providing for the consideration of h.r. 961

  Mr. QUILLEN, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 140):

       Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this 
     resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule 
     XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
     Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of 
     the bill (H.R. 961) to amend the Federal Water Pollution 
     Control Act. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
     with. Points of order against consideration of the bill for 
     failure to comply with section 302(f) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974 are waived. General debate shall be 
     confined to the bill and shall not exceed two hours equally 
     divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
     member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. 
     After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
     amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to 
     consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment 
     under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute recommended by the Committee on Transportation and 
     Infrastructure now printed in the bill. The committee 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
     by title rather than by section. The first three sections and 
     each title of the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order 
     against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute 
     for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI or clause 
     5(a) of rule XXI or section 302(f) of the Congressional 
     Budget Act of 1974 are waived. 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 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so 
     printed shall be considered as read. Before consideration of 
     any other amendment it shall be in order to consider the 
     amendment printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
     accompanying this resolution. That amendment may be offered 
     only by a Member designated in the report, may amend portions 
     of the bill not yet read for amendment, shall be considered 
     as read, shall be debatable for ten minutes equally divided 
     and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
     the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, shall not 
     be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand 
     for division of the question in the House or in the Committee 
     of the Whole. If that amendment is adopted, then the 
     committee amendment in the nature of a substitute as so 
     amended shall be considered as original text for the purpose 
     of further amendment. At the conclusion of consideration of 
     the bill for amendment for the Committee shall rise and 
     report the bill to the House with such amendments as may have 
     been adopted. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the 
     House on an amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole 
     to the bill or to the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute. 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.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. QUILLEN, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,

present and not voting.
