amendments 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 the

on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each section of the amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. Points of order against the

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.
