    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. 667) to control crime by incarcerating violent criminals. The first 
reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against 
consideration of the bill for failure to comply with clause 2(l)(2)(B) or clause 
2(l)(6) 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 the Judiciary. After general debate 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule for a 
period not to exceed ten hours. 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 the Judiciary 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 7 of rule XVI or 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. 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.
            Attest:
