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 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
