para.118.27  providing for the consideration of h.r. 927

  Mr. DIAZ-BALART, by direction of the Committee on Rules, called up the 
following resolution (H. Res. 225):

       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. 927) to seek international sanctions against 
     the Castro government in Cuba, to plan for support of a 
     transition government leading to a democratically elected 
     government in Cuba, 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 
     2(l)(2)(B) of rule XI are waived. General debate shall be 
     confined to the bill and shall not exceed two and one half 
     hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
     ranking minority member of the Committee on International 
     Relations. After general debate the bill shall be considered 
     for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the 
     amendment recommended by the Committee on International 
     Relations now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to 
     consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment 
     under the five-minute rule an amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 2347. That 
     amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
     as read. Points of order against that amendment in the nature 
     of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule 
     XVI are waived. Before consideration of any other amendment 
     it shall be in order to consider a further amendment in the 
     nature of a substitute by Representative Hamilton of Indiana 
     or his designee. Such a further amendment in the nature of a 
     substitute shall be considered as read, shall be debatable 
     for one hour equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
     and an opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment. If 
     such a further amendment in the nature of a substitute is 
     rejected or not offered, then no further amendment shall be 
     in order except those printed in the report of the Committee 
     on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each further amendment 
     may be considered only in the order printed in the report, 
     may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, 
     shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for twenty 
     minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and 
     an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment except as 
     specified in the report, and shall not be subject to a demand 
     for division of the question in the House or in the Committee 
     of the Whole. 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute made 
     in order as original text. 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,
  By unanimous consent, 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. TORKILDSEN, announced that the yeas had 
it.
  Mr. BEILENSON 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.
