this part shall be referred to the Committee on the Budget
and the appropriate committee or committees of the Sen-
ate and the Committee on the Budget and the appropriate
committee or committees of the House of Representatives.
Each such message shall be printed as a document of the
House of Representatives.
‘‘(b) TIME PERIOD FOR EXPEDITED PROCEDURES.—
‘‘(1) There shall be a congressional review pe-
riod of 30 calendar days of session, beginning on the
first calendar day of session after the date on which
the special message is received in the House of Rep-
resentatives and the Senate, during which the proce-
dures contained in this section shall apply to both
Houses of Congress.
‘‘(2) In the House of Representatives the proce-
dures set forth in this section shall not apply after
the end of the period described in paragraph (1).
‘‘(3) If Congress adjourns at the end of a Con-
gress prior to the expiration of the period described
in paragraph (1) and a disapproval bill was then
pending in either House of Congress or a committee
thereof (including a conference committee of the two
Houses of Congress), or was pending before the
President, a disapproval bill for the same special
message may be introduced within the first five cal-
endar days of session of the next Congress and shall
be treated as a disapproval bill under this part, and
the time period described in paragraph (1) shall
commence on the day of introduction of that dis-
approval bill.
‘‘(c) INTRODUCTION OF DISAPPROVAL BILLS.—(1)
In order for a disapproval bill to be considered under the
procedures set forth in this section, the bill must meet the
definition of a disapproval bill and must be introduced no
later than the fifth calendar day of session following the
beginning of the period described in subsection (b)(1).
‘‘(2) In the case of a disapproval bill introduced in
the House of Representatives, such bill shall include in
the first blank space referred to in section 1026(6)(C) a
list of the reference numbers for all cancellations made
by the President in the special message to which such dis-

‘‘(d) CONSIDERATION
IN
THE HOUSE
OF REP-
RESENTATIVES.—(1) Any committee of the House of Rep-
resentatives to which a disapproval bill is referred shall
report it without amendment, and with or without rec-
ommendation, not later than the seventh calendar day of
session after the date of its introduction. If any committee
fails to report the bill within that period, it is in order
to move that the House discharge the committee from fur-
ther consideration of the bill, except that such a motion
may not be made after the committee has reported a dis-
approval bill with respect to the same special message. A
motion to discharge may be made only by a Member favor-
ing the bill (but only at a time or place designated by the
Speaker in the legislative schedule of the day after the
calendar day on which the Member offering the motion
announces to the House his intention to do so and the
form of the motion). The motion is highly privileged. De-
bate thereon shall be limited to not more than one hour,
the time to be divided in the House equally between a pro-
ponent and an opponent. The previous question shall be
considered as ordered on the motion to its adoption with-
out intervening motion. A motion to reconsider the vote
by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not
be in order.
‘‘(2) After a disapproval bill is reported or a commit-
tee has been discharged from further consideration, it is
in order to move that the House resolve into the Commit-
tee of the Whole House on the State of the Union for con-
sideration of the bill. If reported and the report has been
available for at least one calendar day, all points of order
against the bill and against consideration of the bill are
waived. If discharged, all points of order against the bill
and against consideration of the bill are waived. The mo-
tion is highly privileged. A motion to reconsider the vote
by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall not
be in order. During consideration of the bill in the Com-
mittee of the Whole, the first reading of the bill shall be
dispensed with. General debate shall proceed, shall be con-
fined to the bill, and shall not exceed one hour equally
divided and controlled by a proponent and an opponent
of the bill. The bill shall be considered as read for amend-
ment under the five-minute rule. Only one motion to rise
shall be in order, except if offered by the manager. No
amendment to the bill is in order, except any Member if
