with. All points of order against consideration of the bill
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill
and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and con-
trolled by the chairman and ranking minority member of
the Committee on Appropriations. After general debate
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-
minute rule. Points of order against provisions in the bill
for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived
except as follows: beginning with ‘‘: Provided further’’ on

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 8 of rule XVIII. Amend-
ments so printed shall be considered as read. The Chair-
man of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone

vided that the minimum time for electronic voting on the

ments for failure to comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI

adopted. 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 instructions.
