    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. 3073) to amend part A of title IV of the Social Security Act to 
provide for grants for projects designed to promote responsible fatherhood, 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 90 minutes, with 60 minutes 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Ways and Means and 30 minutes equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Education and the 
Workforce. After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under 
the five-minute rule. In lieu of the amendment recommended by the Committee on 
Ways and Means 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 the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in the Congressional Record and 
numbered 1 pursuant to clause 8 of rule XVIII, modified by the amendment 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. 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 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, 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 our 
without instructions.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
