    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution

House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2425) to amend title 
XVIII of the Social Security Act to preserve and reform the Medicare 
Program. 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 amendments specified in this 
resolution and shall not exceed three hours equally divided among and 
controlled by the chairmen and ranking minority members of the 
Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Commerce. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. An amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting 
of the text of H.R. 2485, modified by the amendment printed in the 
report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, shall be 
considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. 
The bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original bill for the 
purpose of further amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill, as 
amended, shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. No further amendment 
shall be in order except the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 2 pursuant to clause 6 
of rule XXIII, which may be offered only by the minority leader 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 that 
amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. After a motion that 
the Committee rise has been rejected on a day, the Chair may entertain 
another such motion on that day only if offered by the chairman of the 
Committee on Ways and Means, the chairman of the Committee on Commerce, 
or the majority leader, or a designee of any of them. At the conclusion 
of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and 
report the bill, as amended, to the House with such further amendment 
as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be considered as 
ordered on the bill, as amended, and any amendment thereto to final 
passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with 
or without instructions. The motion to recommit may include 
instructions only if offered by the minority leader or his designee. 
The yeas and nays shall be considered as ordered on the question of 
passage of the bill and on any conference report thereon. Clause 5(c) 
of rule XXI shall not apply to the bill, amendments thereto, or 
conference reports thereon.
