House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3439) to prohibit the 
Federal Communications Commission from establishing rules authorizing 
the operation of new, low power FM radio stations. The first reading of 
the bill shall be dispensed with. General debate shall be confined to 
the bill an shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by 
the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Commerce. 
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 recommended by the Committee on Commerce now printed in the 
bill. The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered as read. Points of order against the committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule 
XVI are waived. 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. 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 committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute. 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.
