                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3719) to amend the Small 
        Business Act and Small Business Investment Act of 1958.

    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. 3719) to amend the Small 
Business Act and Small Business Investment Act of 1958. The first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order against 
consideration of the bill for failure to comply with clause 2(l)(2)(B) 
of rule XI 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 Small 
Business. 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 Small Business now printed in the bill. The committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered by title 
rather than by section. The first three sections and each title 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 are waived. During 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. The Chairman of the Committee of 
the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time during further consideration 
in the Committee of the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any 
amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the minimum time for 
electronic voting on any postponed question that follows another 
electronic vote without intervening business, provided that the minimum 
time for electronic voting on the first in any series of questions 
shall be 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.
