ation of the bill (H.R. 2539) to abolish the Interstate
HRES 259 RH
Commerce Commission, to amend subtitle IV of title 49,
United States Code, to reform economic regulation of
transportation, and for other purposes. The first reading
of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order
against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with
section 302(f) or 308(a) of the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974 are waived. General debate shall be confined to
the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member
of the Committee on Transportation 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 amend-
ment under the five-minute rule the amendment in the na-
ture 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 section and each title shall be considered as read.
Points of order against the committee amendment in the
nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause
5(a) of rule XXI or section 302(f) of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974 are waived. Before consideration of
any other amendment, it shall be in order without inter-
vention of any point of order to consider the amendment
HRES 259 RH
caused by the chairman of the Committee on Transpor-
tation and Infrastructure to be printed in the portion of
the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in
clause 6 of rule XXIII. That amendment may be offered
only by the chairman of the Committee on Transportation
and Infrastructure or his designee, shall be considered as
read, shall be debatable for ten minutes 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 adopt-
ed, the bill, as amended, shall be considered 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 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. At the conclusion of consideration of
the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and re-
port 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 Com-
mittee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee amend-
HRES 259 RH
ment 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.
