    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. 4104) making 
appropriations for the Treasury Department, the United States Postal 
Service, the Executive Office of the President, and certain Independent

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 Appropriations. After general debate the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The 
amendments printed in part 1 of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted in the 
House and in the Committee of the Whole. Points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 
or 6 of rule XXI are waived except as follows: page 104, line 14, 
through page 106, line 12. The amendments printed in part 2 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 15 minutes. At the conclusion of consideration of 
the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as 
amended, to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. 
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.
