shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. After
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment
under the five-minute rule. 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 sub-
stitute recommended by the Committee on Government
Reform and Oversight. The committee amendment in the
nature of a substitute shall be considered by title rather
than by section. The first two sections and each title shall
be considered as read. Points of order against the commit-
tee amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure
to comply with clause 5(a) of rule XXI or section 302(f)
of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. Dur-
ing consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman
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
HRES 219 RH
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 Committee of
the Whole may postpone until a time during further con-
sideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for
a recorded vote on any amendment. The Chairman of the
Committee of the Whole may reduce to not less than five
minutes the time for voting by electronic device on any
postponed question that immediately follows another vote
by electronic device without intervening business: Pro-
vided, That the time for voting by electronic device on the
first in any series of questions shall be not less than 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 committee amendment in
the nature of a substitute. The previous question shall be
considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto
to final passage without intervening motion except one
motion to recommit with or without instructions.
