ity member of the Committee on Resources. After general
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under
the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendment rec-
ommended by the Committee on Resources now printed

of a substitute shall be considered as read. During consid-
eration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the

ment has caused it to be printed in the portion of the Con-
gressional Record designated for that purpose in clause

time for electronic voting on the first in any series of ques-
tions shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consider-
ation of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise

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 amend-
ment in the nature of a substitute made in order as origi-
nal text. The previous question shall be considered as or-
dered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit
with or without instructions.
