fered by Representative Lazio of New York or his des-
ignee. That amendment shall be considered as read, shall

to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for
division of the question in the House or in the Committee

amended, shall be considered as the original bill for the
purpose of further amendment. During further consider-
ation of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the Com-
mittee 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 Congres-
sional 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: (1) postpone until a time during further consider-
ation in the Committee of the Whole a request for a re-
corded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five
minutes the minimum time for electronic voting on any
postponed question that follows another electronic vote
without intervening business: Provided, That the minimum
time for electronic voting on the first in any series of ques-
HRES 133 RH
tions shall be fifteen minutes. At the conclusion of consid-
eration 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 commit-
tee amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order
as original text. 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.
