                               RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1788) to reform the 
 statutes relating to Amtrak, to authorize appropriations for Amtrak, 
                        and for other purposes.

    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. 1788) to reform the 
statutes relating to Amtrak, to authorize appropriations for Amtrak, 
and for other purposes. 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 shall not 
exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure. 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 Transportation and Infrastructure now printed in the bill, 
modified by the amendment printed in part 1 of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. The committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, shall be 
considered by title rather than by section. The first section and each 
title shall be considered as read. All points of order against the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, are 
waived. Before consideration of any other amendment, it shall be in 
order without intervention of any point of order to consider the 
amendment printed in part 2 of the report of the Committee on Rules. 
That amendment may be offered only by the chairman of the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure or his designee, shall be considered 
as read, may amend portions of the bill not yet read for amendment, 
shall be debatable for ten 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 bill, as amended, shall be considered as the original bill for the 
purpose of further amendment. During further consideration of the bill 
for amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord 
priority in recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an 
amendment has caused it to be printed in the portion of the 
Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule 
XXIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. 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 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 amendments thereto to final passage without intervening 
motion except one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
