  Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 901) to preserve the 
 sovereignty of the United States over public lands and acquired lands 
   owned by the United States, and to preserve State sovereignty and

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

House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of

sovereignty of the United States over public lands and acquired lands 
owned by the United States, and to preserve State sovereignty and 
private property rights in non-Federal lands surrounding those public 
lands and acquired lands. 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 Resources. 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 Resources now 
printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read. 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.
