shall be dispensed with. General 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 International Relations.
After general debate the bill shall be considered for
amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill shall be
considered as read. Before consideration of any other
amendment it shall be in order to consider the first
amendment printed in part A of the report of the Com-
mittee on Rules accompanying this resolution, if offered
by Representative Gilman or his designee. That amend-
ment shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for
10 minutes equally divided and controlled by the pro-
ponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amend-
ment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division
of the question in the House or in the Committee of the
Whole. All points of order against that amendment are
waived. After disposition of that amendment, the provi-
sions of the bill as then amended shall be considered as
original text for the purpose of further amendment under
the five-minute rule. No further amendment to the bill
shall be in order except those printed in the report of the
HRES 247 RH
passage without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
SEC. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chair-
man of the Committee on International Relations or his
designee to offer amendments en bloc consisting of amend-
ments printed in part B of the report of the Committee
on Rules not earlier disposed of or germane modifications
of any such amendment. Amendments en bloc offered pur-
suant to this section shall be considered as read (except
that modifications shall be reported), shall be debatable
for 20 minutes equally divided and controlled by the chair-
man and ranking minority member of the Committee on
International Relations or their designees, shall not be
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a de-
mand for division of the question in the House or in the
Committee of the Whole. For the purpose of inclusion in
such amendments en bloc, an amendment printed in the
form of a motion to strike may be modified to the form
of a germane perfecting amendment to the text originally
proposed to be stricken. The original proponent of an
amendment included in such amendments en bloc may in-
sert a statement in the Congressional Record immediately
before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
SEC. 3. After passage of H.R. 2415, it shall be in
order to take from the Speaker’s table the bill S. 886 and
HRES 247 RH
to consider the Senate bill in the House. All points of
order against the Senate bill and against its consideration
are waived. It shall be in order to move to strike all after
the enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert in lieu
thereof the provisions of H.R. 2415 as passed by the
House. All points of order against that motion are waived.
