                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2559) to amend the 
      Federal Crop Insurance Act to strengthen the safety net for 
 agricultural producers by providing greater access to more affordable 
   risk management tools and improved protection from production and 
  income loss, to improve the efficiency and integrity of the Federal 
            crop insurance program, and for other purposes.

    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. 2559) to amend the 
Federal Crop Insurance Act to strengthen the safety net for 
agricultural producers by providing greater access to more affordable 
risk management tools and improved protection from production and 
income loss, to improve the efficiency and integrity of the Federal 
crop insurance program, and for other purposes. 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 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 the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying 
this resolution. That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered by title rather than by section. Each title shall be 
considered as read. 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 portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in 
clause 8 of rule XVIII and except pro forma amendments for the purpose 
of debate. Each amendment so printed may be offered only by the Member 
who caused it to be printed or his designee, shall be considered as 
read, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question 
in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. 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.
