   Mr. Derrick, from the Committee on Rules, reported the following 
resolution; which was referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be 
                                printed

                               RESOLUTION

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for further consideration of the bill (H.R. 4092) to control 
and prevent crime. No further general debate shall be in order. The 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule and 
shall be considered as read. Except as provided in section 2 of this 
resolution, no amendment shall be in order except those printed in the 
report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each 
amendment printed in the report may be offered only in the order 
printed, may be offered only by a 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 except as specified in the 
report, 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 the amendments printed in the report are waived. If more 
than one of the following amendments printed in part 1 of the report 
relating to habeas corpus is adopted, only the last to be adopted shall 
be considered as finally adopted and reported to the House: by 
Representative Hyde of Illinois; and by Representative Derrick of South 
Carolina.
    Sec. 2. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the 
Committee on the Judiciary or his designee to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments printed in part 2 of the report of the 
Committee on Rules or germane modifications of any such amendment. 
Amendments en bloc offered pursuant to this section shall be considered 
as read (except that modifications shall be reported), shall be 
debatable for 10 minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary, 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. 
For the purpose of inclusion in such amendments en bloc, an amendment 
printed in the form of a motion to strike may be modified to the form 
of a germane perfecting amendment to the text originally proposed to be 
stricken. All points of order against such amendments en bloc are 
waived. The original proponent of an amendment included in such 
amendments en bloc may insert a statement in the Congressional Record 
immediately before the disposition of the amendments en bloc.
    Sec. 3. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may postpone 
until a time during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole 
a request for a recorded vote on any amendment made in order by this 
resolution. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may reduce to 
not less than five minutes the time for voting by electronic device on 
any postponed question that immediately follows another vote by 
electronic device without intervening business, provided that the time 
for voting by electronic device on the first in any series of questions 
shall be not less than 15 minutes.
    Sec. 4. 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 finally adopted. 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.
    Sec. 5. After passage of H.R. 4092, it shall be in order to take 
from the Speaker's table the bill H.R. 3355, with a Senate amendment 
thereto, and to consider the Senate amendment in the House. It shall be 
in order to move to concur in the Senate amendment with an amendment 
inserting the text of H.R. 4092 as passed by the House in lieu of the 
matter proposed to be inserted by the Senate. All points of order 
against that motion are waived. If the motion is adopted, then it shall 
be in order to move that the House insist on its amendments to the 
Senate amendment to H.R. 3355 and request a conference with the Senate 
thereon.
