by a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, and 
shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the 
House or in the Committee of the Whole. Each amendment printed in the

    Sec. 4. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may recognize

hour after the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services or a 
designee announces from the floor a request to that effect.
    Sec. 5. 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.
