Maritime Security Fleet program, and for other purposes. The first reading of 
the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 Merchant Marine and Fisheries. 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 
amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries now printed in the 
bill. Each section of the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute 
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

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 committee 
amendment 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.
