T118.27 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.
