divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking mi-
nority member of the Committee on Transportation and

of amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Com-
mittee on Transportation and Infrastructure now printed
in the bill, modified by the amendment printed in the re-
port of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolu-
tion. Each section of that amendment in the nature of a
substitute shall be considered as read. During consider-
ation of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the Com-
mittee of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on
the basis of whether the Member offering an amendment
has caused it to be printed in the portion of the Congres-
sional Record designated for the purpose in clause 8 of

ation in the Committee of the Whole a request for a re-
corded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five
minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any
postponed question that follows another electronic vote
without intervening business, provided that the minimum
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
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 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.
