    Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order 
without intervention of any point of order to consider in the House the bill 
(H.R. 6) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to eliminate the marriage

to unmarried individuals. The bill shall be considered as read for amendment. 
The amendment recommended by the Committee on Ways and Means now printed in the 
bill shall be considered as adopted. The previous question shall be considered 
as ordered on the bill, as amended, and on any further amendment thereto to 
final passage without intervening motion except: (1) two hours of debate on the 
bill, as amended, equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means; (2) the further amendment 
printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, if 
offered by Representative Rangel or his designee, which shall be in order 
without intervention of any point of order, shall be considered as read, and 
shall be separately debatable for one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
proponent and an opponent; and (3) one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
