RESOLUTION
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 961) to amend
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this
resolution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of
rule XXIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee
of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consider-
ation of the bill (H.R. 961) to amend the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act. The first reading of the bill shall
be dispensed with. Points of order against consideration
of the bill for failure to comply with section 302(f) of the
HRES 140 RH
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. General de-
bate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed two
hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and
ranking minority member of the Committee on Transpor-
tation and Infrastructure. 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 substitute recommended
by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the
nature of a substitute shall be considered by title rather
than by section. The first three sections and each title of
the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute
shall be considered as read. Points of order against the
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute for
failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI or clause 5(a)
of rule XXI or section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget
Act of 1974 are waived. During 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
designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII.
Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. Be-
HRES 140 RH
fore consideration of any other amendment it shall be in
order to consider the amendment printed in the report of
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution.
That amendment may be offered only by a Member des-
ignated in the report, may amend portions of the bill not
yet read for amendment, shall be considered as read, shall
be debatable for ten minutes equally divided and controlled
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, 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 adopt-
ed, then the committee amendment in the nature of a sub-
stitute as so amended shall be considered as original text
for the purpose of further amendment. 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.
