of order against consideration of the bill are waived. Gen-
eral debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not ex-
ceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair-
man and ranking minority member of the Committee on
Resources. After general debate the bill shall be considered
for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the
amendment recommended by the Committee on Resources
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 the amendment in the nature of a sub-
stitute printed in the Congressional Record and numbered

in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read.
All points of order against that amendment in the nature
of a substitute 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 8 of rule XVIII.
Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. The
Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) post-
pone until a time during further consideration in the Com-
mittee of the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any
amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the minimum
HRES 610 RH
time for electronic voting on any postponed question that
follows another electronic vote without intervening busi-
ness, provided that the minimum time for electronic voting
on the first in any series of questions shall be 15 minutes.
At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amend-
ment 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 sub-
stitute made in order as original text. The previous ques-
tion shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amend-
ments thereto to final passage without intervening motion
except one motion to recommit with or without instruc-
tions.
