ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage without 
intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
    Sec. 2.  During consideration in the House of H.R. 2768 pursuant to

question, the Chair may postpone further consideration of the bill to 
such time as may be designated by the Speaker.
