RESOLUTION
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3892) to amend
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965
to establish a program to help children and youth learn
English, and for other purposes.
Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this
resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of
rule XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee
of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 3892) to amend the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to establish a pro-
HRES 516 RH
gram to help children and youth learn English, and for
other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dis-
pensed with. General debate shall be confined to the 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
under the five-minute rule for a period not to exceed three
hours and, thereafter, as provided in section 2 of this reso-
lution. 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 substitute recommended
by the Committee on Education and the Workforce now
printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the na-
ture of a substitute shall be considered as read. Before
consideration of any other amendment it shall be in order
to consider the amendment printed in the Congressional
Record and numbered 1 pursuant to clause 6 of rule
XXIII, if offered by Representative Riggs of California or
his designee. That amendment shall be considered as read,
be debatable for 10 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 provisions
HRES 516 RH
of the amendment in the nature of a substitute as then
perfected shall be considered as original text for the pur-
pose of further amendment under the five-minute rule.
After disposition of the amendment numbered 1, it shall
be in order to consider the amendment printed in the Con-
gressional Record and numbered 2 pursuant to clause 6
of rule XXIII, if offered by Representative Riggs of Cali-
fornia or his designee, which shall be considered as read.
That amendment and all amendments thereto shall be de-
batable for 30 minutes equally divided and controlled by
the proponent and an opponent. During consideration of
the bill for further 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 that purpose in clause 6 of
rule XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered
as read. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole
may: (1) postpone until a time during further consider-
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-
HRES 516 RH
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.
SEC. 2. After consideration of the bill for amendment
under the five minute rule for three hours pursuant to
the first section of this resolution, no further amendment
to the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in
order as original text shall be in order except those printed
in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for
that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Each further
amendment may be offered only by the Member who
caused it to be printed or a designee and shall be consid-
ered as read. Each further amendment and all amend-
ments thereto shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent.
