  Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 436) to reduce waste, 
  fraud, and error in Government programs by making improvements with 
 respect to Federal management and debt collection practices, Federal 
   payment systems, Federal benefit programs, 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. 436) to reduce waste, 
fraud, and error in Government programs by making improvements with 
respect to Federal management and debt collection practies, Federal 
payment systems, Federal benefit programs, and for other purposes. The 
first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. Points of order 
against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with section 
303 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 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 Government Reform. After general debate the bill shall 
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. The bill shall 
be considered as read. During consideration of the bill for 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 to the House 
with such amendments as may have been adopted. 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.
