Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1432) to authorize a new 
          trade and investment policy for sub-Saharan Africa.

    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. 1432) to authorize a new 
trade and investment policy for sub-Saharan Africa. The first reading 
of the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate shall be confined 
to the bill and the amendments made in order by this resolution and 
shall not exceed two hours, with one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee 
on International Relations and one hour equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways 
and Means. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider 
as an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute 
rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Ways and Means now printed in the bill, modified by the 
amendments printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. 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. No amendment to that amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be in order except those printed in part 2 
of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each amendment may be offered 
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 the time specified in the report equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be subject 
to amendment. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) 
postpone until a time during further consideration in the Committee of 
the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) 
reduce to five minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any 
postponed question that follows another electronic vote without 
intervening business, provided that the minimum time for electronic 
voting on the first in any series of questions shall be 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.
