                               RESOLUTION


 
Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2679) to amend title 49, 
      United States Code, to establish the National Motor Carrier 
  Administration in the Department of Transportation, to improve the 
     safety of commercial motor vehicle operators and carriers, to 
    strengthen commercial driver's licenses, 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. 2679) to amend title 49, 
United States Code, to establish the National Motor Carrier 
Administration in the Department of Transportation, to improve the 
safety of commercial motor vehicle operators and carriers, to 
strengthen commercial driver's licenses, and for other purposes. The 
first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order 
against the bill and against its consideration 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 Transportation and Infrastructure. After 
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the 
five-minute rule. The amendment printed in part A of the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as 
adopted in the House and in the Committee of the Whole. The bill, as 
amended, shall be considered by title rather than by section. Each 
title shall be considered as read. Before consideration of any other 
amendment it shall be in order to consider the amendment printed in 
part B of the report of the Committee on Rules, if offered by a Member 
designated in the report. That amendment shall be considered as read, 
may amend portions of the bill not yet read for amendment, and shall 
not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or 
in the Committee of the Whole. Points of order against that amendment 
for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. During 
consideration of the bill for further amendment, the Chairman of the 
Committee of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis 
of whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed 
in the portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose 
in clause 8 of rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as 
read. 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, as amended, to the House with such further amendments 
as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be considered as 
ordered on the bill, as amended, and any further amendment thereto to 
final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit 
with or without instructions.
