of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in rec-
ognition 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 shall be
considered as read. At the conclusion of consideration of
the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and re-
port 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 Com-
mittee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee 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.
