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 Resources. After general de-
bate the bill shall be considered 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-

suant to clause 6 of rule XXIII. That amendment shall
be considered as read. Points of order against that amend-
ment for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are

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

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 15 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.
