olution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule

Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of
the bill (H.R. 3937) entitled the ‘‘Export Administration Act
of 1994’’. 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 ninety minutes, with fifteen minutes equally divided
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, fifteen minutes equally
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority

trolled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Ways and Means, and fifteen minutes equally
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority
member of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
After general debate the bill shall be considered for amend-
ment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the committee
amendments now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to
consider as an original bill for the purpose of amendment
under the five-minute rule an amendment in the nature of a
substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 4663. That amend-
ment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title
rather than by section, and each title shall be considered as
read. All points of order against that amendment in the na-
ture of a substitute are waived. No amendment directly or in-
directly changing section 111(c)(2)(B)(iii), 111(d)(4)(F),
111(e)(3), or 226(b)(8) of the amendment in the nature of
a substitute made in order as original text shall be in order.
No amendment affecting the subject of timber shall be in
order. It shall be in order to consider the amendments print-
ed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying
this resolution only in the order printed. Each amendment
printed in the report may be offered only by a Member des-
ignated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be de-
batable for the time specified in the report equally divided
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not
HRES 474 EH
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. All points of order against the
amendments printed in the report are waived. If more than
one of the amendments printed in the report is adopted, only
the last to be adopted shall be considered as finally adopted
and reported to the House. Except as provided in section 2
of this resolution, no other amendment (other than a further
amendment in the nature of a substitute) may directly or in-
directly change a portion of the amendment in the nature of
a substitute made in order as original text addressed by an
amendment printed in the report. Except as provided in sec-
tion 3, no other amendment to the amendment in the nature
of a substitute made in order as original text shall be in order
unless printed in the portion of the Congressional Record des-
ignated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII before the
commencement of consideration of the bill. At the conclusion
of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee
shall rise and report the bill to the House with such amend-
ments as may have been finally adopted. Any Member may
demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment fi-
nally 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
HRES 474 EH
for division of the question in the House or in the Committee
of the Whole. For the purpose of inclusion in such amend-
ments en bloc, an amendment printed in the form of a motion
to strike may be modified to the form of a germane perfect-
ing amendment to the text originally proposed to be stricken.
All points of order against such amendments en bloc are
waived. The original proponent of an amendment included in
such amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the Con-
gressional Record immediately before the disposition of the
amendments en bloc.
Attest:
Clerk.
