    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. 1402) to require the Secretary of Agriculture to implement the Class 
I milk price structure known as Option 1A as part of the implementation of the 
final rule to consolidate Federal milk marketing orders. The first reading of 
the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order against consideration of the 
bill for failure to comply with clause 3 of rule XIII or section 308(a) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are waived. 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 Agriculture. 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 Agriculture now printed in the bill, modified by 
the amendments printed in part A of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall 
be considered as read. Points of order against that amendment in the nature of a 
substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. No 
amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order 
except those printed in part B of the report of the Committee on Rules. 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 except as 
specified in the report, 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
