para.114.16  providing for the consideration of h.r. 1670

  Mr. McINNIS, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 219):

       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. 1670) to revise and steamline the acquisition 
     laws of the Federal Government, to reorganize the mechanisms 
     for resolving Federal procurement disputes, 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 section 302(f) or 308(a) of the 
     Congressional Budget Act of 1974 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 Government Reform and 
     Oversight. 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 
     Government Reform and Oversight. The committee amendment in 
     the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title 
     rather than by section. The first two sections and each title 
     shall be considered as read. Points of order against the 
     committee amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure 
     to comply with 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. 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 instruction.

  When said resolution was considered.
  After debate,
  On motion of Mr. McINNIS, the previous question was ordered on the 
resolution to its adoption or rejection.
  The question being put, viva voce,
  Will the House agree to said resolution?
  The SPEAKER pro tempore, Mr. LaHOOD, announced that the yeas had it.
  Mr. McINNIS objected to the vote on the ground that a quorum was not 
present and not voting.
  A quorum not being present,
  The roll was called under clause 4, rule XV, and the call was taken by 
electronic device.
