After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the committee

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. 4663. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title

rather than by section, and each title shall be considered as

read. All points of order against that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No amendment directly or indirectly changing section 111(c)(2)(B)(iii), 111(d)(4)(F),

111(e)(3), or 226(b)(8) of the amendment in the nature of

a substitute made in order as original text shall be in order.

No amendment affecting the subject of timber shall be in

order. It shall be in order to consider the amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying

this resolution only in the order printed. Each amendment

printed in the report may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided

and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not

be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the

Committee of the Whole. All points of order against the

amendments printed in the report are waived. If more than

one of the amendments printed in the report is adopted, only

the last to be adopted shall be considered as finally adopted

and reported to the House. Except as provided in section 2

of this resolution, no other amendment (other than a further

amendment in the nature of a substitute) may directly or indirectly change a portion of the amendment in the nature of

a substitute made in order as original text addressed by an

amendment printed in the report. Except as provided in section 3, no other amendment to the amendment in the nature

of a substitute made in order as original text shall be in order

unless printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII before the

commencement of consideration of the bill. 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 finally adopted. Any Member may

demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment finally 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

for division of the question in the House or in the Committee

of the Whole. For the purpose of inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the form of a motion

All points of order against such amendments en bloc are

waived. The original proponent of an amendment included in

such amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately before the disposition of the
