Mr. LINDER, by direction of the

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. 2425) to amend

title XVIII of the Social Security Act to preserve and reform the Medicare Program. The

first reading of the bill shall be dispensed

with. All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. General debate

shall be confined to the bill and amendments

specified in this resolution and shall not exceed three hours equally divided among and

controlled by the chairmen and ranking minority members of the Committee on Ways

and Means and the Committee on Commerce.

After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute

rule. An amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 2485,

modified by the amendment printed in the

report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, shall be considered

as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The bill, as amended,

shall be considered as the original bill for

the purpose of further amendment under the

five-minute rule. The bill, as amended, shall

be considered as read. All points of order

against provisions in the bill, as amended,

are waived. No further amendment shall be

in order except the amendment in the nature

of a substitute printed in the Congressional

Record and number 2 pursuant to clause 6 of

rule XXIII, which may be offered only by the

minority leader or his designee, 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. All points of order

against that amendment in the nature of a

substitute are waived. After a motion that

the Committee rise has been rejected on a

day, the Chair may entertain another such

motion on that day only if offered by the

chairman of the Committee on Ways and

Means, the chairman of the Committee on

Commerce, or the majority leader, or a designee of any of them. At the conclusion of

consideration of the bill for amendment the

Committee shall rise and report the bill, as

amended, to the House with such further

amendment as may have been adopted. The

previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, and any

amendment thereto to final passage without

intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without instructions. The

motion to recommit may include instructions only if offered by the minority leader

or his designee. The yeas and nays shall be

considered as ordered on the question of passage of the bill and on any conference report

thereon. Clause 5(c) of rule XXI shall not

apply to the bill, amendments thereto, or

conference reports thereon.

When said resolution was considered.

After debate,

Mr. LINDER moved the previous

question on the resolution to its adoption or rejection.

The question being put, viva voce,

Will the House now order the previous question?
