 higher quality services for American telecommunications consumers and 
 encourage the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies.
    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. 1555) to promote 
competition and reduce regulation in order to secure lower prices and 
higher quality services for American telecommunications consumers and 
encourage the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies. 
The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order 
against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with section 
302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. General 
debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed ninety 
minutes equally divided among and controlled by the chairmen and 
ranking minority members of the Committee on Commerce and the Committee 
on the Judiciary. 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 Commerce now printed in the bill. 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 and section 302(f) of 
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. Before consideration 
of any other amendment it shall be in order to consider the amendment 
printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
this resolution. That amendment may be offered only by a Member 
designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for thirty minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
proponent and an opponent, 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. If that amendment is adopted, the 
provisions of the bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original 
bill for the purpose of further amendment under the five-minute rule. 
No further amendment shall be in order except those printed in part 2 
of the report of the Committee on Rules. Each amendment printed in part 
2 of the report may be considered only in the order printed in the 
report, 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 
amendments printed in the report of the Committee on Rules are waived. 
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. 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 fifteen minutes. 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 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.
    Sec. 2. After passage of H.R. 1555, it shall be in order to take 
from the Speaker's table the bill S. 652 and to consider the Senate 
bill in the House. All points of order against the Senate bill and 
against its consideration are waived. It shall be in order to move to 
strike all after the enacting clause of the Senate bill and to insert 
in lieu thereof the provisions of H.R. 1555 as passed by the House. All 
points of order against that motion are waived. If the motion is 
adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be in 
order to move that the House insist on its amendments to S. 652 and 
request a conference with the Senate thereon.
