HRES 537 RH
interdiction efforts in the major transit countries and sup-
port a comprehensive supply eradication and crop substi-
tution program in source countries. The first reading of
the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate shall be
confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally
divided and controlled by Representative Hastert of Illi-
nois, and a Member opposed to the bill. After general de-
bate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the
five-minute rule for a period not to exceed three hours.
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 printed in the
Congressional Record and numbered 1 pursuant to clause
6 of rule XXIII. That amendment in the nature of a sub-
stitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against
that amendment in the nature of a substitute for failure
to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. During
consideration of the bill for amendments, 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
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: (1) postpone until a time during further con-
HRES 537 RH
sideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for
a recorded 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-
tions shall be 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consider-
ation 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 amend-
ment in the nature of a substitute made in order as origi-
nal text. The previous question shall be considered as or-
dered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit
with or without instruction.
