    Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the

to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
the Judiciary. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendment in the 
nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on the Judiciary 
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 
an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text of

A of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. 
That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as

Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in the report 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. All points of 
order against such amendments are waived. 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 
amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. 
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.
    Sec. 2.  The requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII for a two-
thirds vote to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the 
same day it is presented to the House is waived with respect to any 
resolution reported through the legislative day of September 20, 2019, 
relating to a measure making or continuing appropriations for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2020.
    Sec. 3.  It shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of
