    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker

the concurrent resolution are waived. General debate shall not exceed four 
hours, with three hours of general debate confined to the congressional budget

Brady of Texas and Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York or their 
respective designees. After general debate the concurrent resolution shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The concurrent resolution 
shall be considered as read. No amendment shall be in order except those printed

controlled by the proponent and an opponent. All points of order against such 
amendments are waived except that the adoption of an amendment in the nature of 
a substitute shall constitute the conclusion of consideration of the concurrent 
resolution for amendment. After the conclusion of consideration of the 
concurrent resolution for amendment and a final period of general debate, which

concurrent resolution and amendments thereto to adoption without intervening 
motion except amendments offered by the chair of the Committee on the Budget
