  Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 673) to authorize the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to make grants to 
the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority and other appropriate agencies for 
the purpose of improving water quality throughout the marine ecosystem 
                          of the Florida Keys.

    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. 673) to authorize the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to make grants to 
the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority and other appropriate agencies for 
the purpose of improving water quality throughout the marine ecosystem 
of the Florida Keys. The first reading of the bill will be dispensed 
with. Points of order against consideration of the bill for failure to 
comply with clause 4(a) of rule XIII 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 Transportation and Infrastructure. After general debate 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 
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 Transportation and 
Infrastructure now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute 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. 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.
