    Resolved, That immediately upon the adoption of this resolution the

general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule for a period not to exceed 10 hours. No amendment 
shall be in order except amendments printed in the portion of the 
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule 
XXIII before June 23, 1998. Each amendment shall be considered as read, 
shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand 
for the division of the question in the House or in the Committee of

All points of order against the amendments are waived except those 
arising under clause 7 of rule XVI. The chairman of the Committee of 
the Whole may postpone until a time during further consideration in the

the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such 
amendments as may have been adopted. 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.
    Sec. 2. If the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the bill, then on the next legislative day the 
House shall, immediately after the third daily order of business under 
clause 1 of rule XXIV, resolve into the Committee of the Whole for 
further consideration of the bill.
    Sec. 3. It shall not be in order for the House to consider any 
resolution which waives or supersedes any provision of this resolution.
