ation of the bill are waived. General debate shall be con-
fined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally di-
vided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minor-
ity member of the Committee on Transportation and In-
frastructure. After general debate the bill shall be consid-
ered 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 substitute recommended by the Commit-
tee on Transportation and Infrastructure now printed in
the bill, modified by the amendment printed in part 1 of
the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this

yet read for amendment, shall be debatable for ten min-
utes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and
an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall
not be subject to a demand for division of the question
in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. If that
amendment is adopted, the bill, as amended, shall be con-
sidered as the original bill for the purpose of further
amendment. During further consideration of the bill for
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 des-
ignated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Amend-
ments so printed shall be considered as read. At the con-
clusion 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 amend-
ment 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 instructions.
