not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Resources. After general

nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. During

the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the 
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in

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.
