para.100.7  providing for the consideration of h.r. 70

  Mr. LINDER, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 197):

       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. 70) to permit exports of certain domestically 
     produced crude oil, and for other purposes. The first reading 
     of the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 Resources. 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 Resources now printed in the bill. Each 
     section of the committee amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute 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 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so 
     printed shall be considered as read. The chairman of the 
     Committee of the Whole may postpone until a time during 
     further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request 
     for a recorded vote on any amendment. The chairman of the 
     Committee of the Whole may reduce to not less than five 
     minutes the time for voting by electronic device on any 
     postponed question that immediately follows another vote by 
     electronic device without intervening business, provided that 
     the time for voting by electronic device on the first in any 
     series of questions shall be not less than fifteen 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. Any Member may 
     demand a separate vote in the House on any 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.
       Sec. 2. (a) After passage of H.R. 70, it shall be in order 
     to take from the Speaker's table the bill S. 395 and to 
     consider the Senate bill in the House. All points of order 
     against the Senate bill and against its consideration are 
     waived. It shall be in order to consider in the House, any 
     rule of the House to the contrary notwithstanding, the motion 
     to amend described in subsection (b). The motion to amend 
     shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
     question. The previous question shall be considered as 
     ordered on the motion to amend and on the Senate bill without 
     intervening motion except one motion to recommit the bill 
     with or without instructions. If the motion to amend is 
     adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it 
     shall be in order to move that the House insist on its 
     amendments to S. 395 and request a conference with the Senate 
     thereon.
       (b) The motion to amend the Senate bill made in order by 
     subsection (a) is as follows:
       ``(1) Strike title I.
       ``(2) Strike sections 201 through 204 and insert the text 
     of H.R. 70, as passed by the House.
       ``(3) Strike section 205.
       ``(4) Strike section 206.
       ``(5) Strike title III.''. 

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. LINDER, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection and under the operation thereof, 
the resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider the vote whereby said resolution was agreed to 
was, by unanimous consent, laid on the table.
