                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3892) to amend the 
 Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to establish a program 
   to help children and youth learn English, and for other purposes.

    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. 3892) to amend the 
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to establish a program 
to help children and youth learn English, and for other purposes. 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 Education and the Workforce. After general debate the bill 
shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule for a 
period not to exceed three hours and, thereafter, as provided in 
section 2 of this resolution. 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 Education and the Workforce now printed in the bill. The 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered 
as read. Before consideration of any other amendment it shall be in 
order to consider the amendment printed in the Congressional Record and 
numbered 1 pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII, if offered by 
Representative Riggs of California or his designee. That amendment 
shall be considered as read, be debatable for 10 minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be 
subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division 
of the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. If that 
amendment is adopted, the provisions of the amendment in the nature of 
a substitute as then perfected shall be considered as original text for 
the purpose of further amendment under the five-minute rule. After 
disposition of the amendment numbered 1, it shall be in order to 
consider the amendment printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 
2 pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII, if offered by Representative 
Riggs of California or his designee, which shall be considered as read. 
That amendment and all amendments thereto shall be debatable for 30 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent. During consideration of the bill for further 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 15 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text. 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.
    Sec. 2. After consideration of the bill for amendment under the 
five minute rule for three hours pursuant to the first section of this 
resolution, no further amendment to the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute made in order as original text shall be in order except 
those printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for 
that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Each further amendment may be 
offered only by the Member who caused it to be printed or a designee 
and shall be considered as read. Each further amendment and all 
amendments thereto shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent.
