    Resolved, 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 
consideration of the bill (H.R. 1215) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 
to strengthen the American family and create jobs. The first reading of the bill 
shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill 
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute made in order as original text and shall not exceed 
four hours, with two hours equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means and two hours equally 
divided among and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority members of the 
Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Commerce. 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 an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
text of H.R. 1327, modified by the amendment printed in part 1 of the report of 
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No amendment to that 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except the further 
amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in part 2 of the report, which 
may be offered only by Representative Gephardt of Missouri or his designee, 
shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be subject to 
amendment. All points of order against the further amendment in the nature of a 
substitute are waived. At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for 
amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such 
amendment 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. The 
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and any amendment 
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion to 
recommit with or without instructions.

                                                                          Clerk.
