minute rule. Points of order against provisions in the bill
for failure to comply with clause 2 or 6 of rule XXI are
waived. During consideration of the bill for 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

tee of the Whole may postpone until a time during further

minutes. After the reading of the final lines of the bill,
a motion that the Committee of the Whole rise and report
the bill to the House with such amendments as may have
been adopted shall, if offered by the majority leader or
a designee, have precedence over a motion to amend. 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. The
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the
bill and amendments thereto to final passage without in-
tervening motion except one motion to recommit with or
without instructions.
