tunity to choose the appropriate school for their children

it shall be in order without intervention of any point of
order to consider in the House the bill (H.R. 2746) to
amend title VI of the Elementary and Secondary Edu-
cation Act of 1965 to give parents with low-incomes the
opportunity to choose the appropriate school for their chil-
dren. The bill shall be considered as read for amendment.
The bill shall be debatable for two hours equally divided
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority
member of the Committee on Education and the
Workforce. The previous question shall be considered as
ordered on the bill to final passage without intervening
motion except one motion to recommit.
SEC. 2. After disposition of the bill (H.R. 2746), the
Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, de-
clare the House resolved into the Committee of the Whole
House on the state of the Union for consideration of the
bill (H.R. 2616) to amend titles VI and X of the Elemen-
tary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to improve and
expand charter schools. The first reading of the bill shall

bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and con-
trolled by the chairman and ranking minority member of
the Committee on Education and the Workforce. After
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment
HRES 288 RH
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 sub-
stitute recommended by the Committee on Education and
the Workforce now printed in the bill. The committee
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be consid-
ered as read. Before consideration of any other amend-
ment it shall be in order to consider the amendment print-
ed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying
this resolution, if offered by Representative Goodling of
Pennsylvania or his designee. That amendment shall be
considered as read, shall be debatable for ten minutes
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an
opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall
not be subject to a demand for division of the question
in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. If that
amendment is adopted, the committee amendment in the
nature of a substitute, as amended, shall be considered
as the original bill for the purpose of further amendment.
During consideration of the bill for further amendment,
the Chairman of the Committee 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 Congressional Record designated for that
purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amendments so printed
HRES 288 RH
shall be considered as read. The Chairman of the Commit-
tee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time during
further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a re-
quest for a recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) re-
duce to five minutes the minimum time for electronic vot-
ing on any postponed question that follows another elec-
tronic vote without intervening business, provided that the
minimum time for electronic voting on the first in any se-
ries of questions shall be fifteen minutes. At the conclusion
of consideration 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 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 without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
