HRES 410 RH
debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed
one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman
and ranking minority member of the Committee on For-
eign Affairs. After general debate the bill shall be consid-
ered 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 Commit-
tee on Foreign Affairs now printed in the bill. Each sec-
tion of the committee amendment in the nature of a sub-
stitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against
the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute
for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived.
No amendment to the committee amendment in the nature
of a substitute shall be in order unless printed in the por-
tion of the Congressional Record designated for that pur-
pose in clause 6 of rule XXIII before the beginning of con-
sideration of the bill. The amendment caused to be printed
in the Record by Representative Bereuter of Nebraska (re-
lating to certain commercial claims) may amend portions
of the bill not yet read for amendment. After disposition
of all other amendments to the committee amendment in
the nature of a substitute, it shall be in order to consider
an amendment caused to be printed in the Record by Rep-
resentative Bonior of Michigan (relating to humanitarian
HRES 410 RH
assistance) and an amendment caused to be printed in the
Record by Representative Solomon of New York (relating
to war crimes) in the order stated. Points of order against
each of those amendments for failure to comply with
clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. After disposition of those
amendments, no further amendment to the committee
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order.
At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amend-
ment 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 committee amendment in the nature
of a substitute. 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.
