thirty minutes equally divided and controlled by the chair-
man and ranking minority member of the Committee on
Resources and thirty minutes equally divided and con-
trolled by the chairman and ranking minority member of
the Committee on Agriculture. After general debate the
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule for a period not to exceed three hours. 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 Commit-
tee on Resources 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 Smith of Or-
egon or his designee. That amendment shall be considered
as read, shall be debatable for ten minutes equally divided

the nature of a substitute, as amended, shall be considered

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
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
