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.
