compensatory time for employees in the private sector. 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. 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

as read. No amendment shall be in order except those printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each amendment may be 
considered only in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by a 
Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable 
for the time specified in the report equally divided and controlled by the

subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or in the 
Committee of the Whole. An amendment designated to be offered by the chairman of 
the Committee on Education and the Workforce or his designee may be offered en 
bloc with one or more other such amendments. 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.
