 Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1106) to authorize the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to make grants to 
State agencies with responsibility for water source development for the 
    purpose of maximizing available water supply and protecting the 
   environment through the development of alternative water sources.

    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. 1106) to authorize the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to make grants to 
State agencies with responsibility for water source development for the 
purpose of maximizing available water supply and protecting the 
environment through the development of alternative water sources. 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.
