of consideration of the concurrent resolution for amend-
ment. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may:

of a substitute made in order as original text. The previous

resolution and amendments thereto to final adoption with-
out intervening motion except amendments offered by the
chairman of the Committee on the Budget pursuant to
