                               RESOLUTION


 
 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1714) to facilitate the 
   use of electronic records and signatures in interstate or foreign 
                               commerce.

    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. 1714) to facilitate the 
use of electronic records and signatures in interstate or foreign 
commerce. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 
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 Commerce. 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 Commerce and 
the Judiciary 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 printed in the 
Congressional Record and numbered 1. That amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read. 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. 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.
