 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 434) to authorize a new 
           trade and investment policy for sub-Sahara Africa.

    Resolved, That, at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 434) to authorize a new 
trade and investment policy for sub-Sahara Africa. The first reading of 
the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against 
consideration of the bill are waived. General debate shall be confined 
to the bill and shall not exceed ninety minutes, with forty-five 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on International Relations and forty-
five minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means. After general 
debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule. In lieu of the amendments recommended by the Committees on 
International Relations and Ways and Means now printed in the bill, it 
shall be in order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of 
amendment under the five-minute rule an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute consisting of the text of H.R. 2489. All points of order 
against that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No 
amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in 
order except those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. Each amendment may be offered 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 
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. All points of order against the 
amendments printed in the report are waived. 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.
