   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1350) to amend the

                    marine, and for other purposes.

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

the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1350) to amend the 
Merchant Marine Act, 1936 to revitalize the United States-flag merchant 
marine, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. 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 National Security. 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 National 
Security now printed in the bill. Each section shall be considered as 
read. Before consideration of any other amendment, it shall be in order 
without intervention of any point of order to consider the amendment 
printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution. That amendment may be offered only by the chairman of the 
Committee on National Security 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. 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 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.
