Unless otherwise specified in the report, each amendment printed in the 
report shall be debatable for ten minutes equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent and shall not be subject to 
amendment (except that pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate 
may be offered by the chairman or ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Armed Services). All points of order against amendments 
printed in the report are waived.
    Sec. 3. (a) After disposition of or postponement of further

    (b) After disposition of or postponement of further proceedings on

Services. If more than one of the amendments printed in part 3 of the

    Sec. 4. It shall be in order at any time for the chairman of the

consisting of amendments printed in part 1 of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution or in part 1 of House 
Report 103-509 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 twenty minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed 
Services, 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. 5. The chairman of the Committee of the Whole may postpone 
until a time during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole

shall be not less than fifteen minutes. The chairman of the Committee 
of the Whole may recognize for consideration of any amendment made in 
order by this resolution out of the order printed, but not sooner than 
one hour after the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services or a 
designee announces from the floor a request to that effect.
    Sec. 6. 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. 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.
