        <text>DEBATE - The House proceeded with one hour of debate on the motion to instruct conferees. The instructions contained in the motion seek to require that the managers on the part of the House insist that (1) the committee of conference allow opportunity for members of the committee of conference to offer and debate amendments at all meetings of such conference; and (2) all meetings of the committee of conference (A) be open to the public and to the print and electronic media; and (B) be held in venues selected to maximize the capacity for attendance of the public and the media.</text>

        <text>Rule provides for consideration of H.R. 760 with 1 hour of general debate. Previous question shall be considered as ordered without intervening motions except motion to recommit. Section 2 of the rule provides that after passage of H.R. 760, it shall be in order to take from the Speaker's table S. 3, the Partial-Birth Abortion Act of 2003, and to consider the Senate bill in the House. The rule further provides for a motion to strike all after the enacting clause of S. 3 and to insert in lieu thereof the provisions of H.R. 760 as passed by the House and waives all points of order against the motion to strike and insert. Measure will be considered read. A specified amendment is in order.</text>
