ply with clause 2(l)(2)(B) of rule XI are waived. General
debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed
two and one half hours equally divided and controlled by

the Committee on International Relations now printed in
the bill, it shall be in order to consider as an original bill
for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule
an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of
the text of H.R. 2347. That amendment in the nature of
a substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order

failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived.
Before consideration of any other amendment it shall be

of a substitute by Representative Hamilton of Indiana or
his designee. Such a further amendment in the nature of
HRES 225 RH
a substitute shall be considered as read, shall be debatable
for one hour equally divided and controlled by the pro-
ponent and an opponent, and shall not be subject to
amendment. If such a further amendment in the nature
of a substitute is rejected or not offered, then no further
amendment shall be in order except those printed in the

lution. Each further amendment may be considered only
in the order printed in the report, may be offered only
by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered
as read, shall be debatable for twenty minutes equally di-
vided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent,
shall not be subject to amendment except as specified in
the report, and shall not be subject to a demand for divi-
sion of the question in the House or in the Committee
of the Whole. The Chairman of the Committee of the
Whole may postpone until a time during further consider-
ation in the Committee of the Whole a request for a re-
corded 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, provided
that the time for voting by electronic device on the first
in any series of questions shall be not less than fifteen

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 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 in-
structions.
