Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 707) to amend the Robert 
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to authorize a 
program for predisaster mitigation, to streamline the administration of 
 disaster relief, to control the Federal costs of disaster assistance, 
                        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. 707) to amend the Robert 
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to authorize a 
program for predisaster mitigation, to streamline the administration of 
disaster relief, to control the Federal costs of disaster assistance, 
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 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 
by title rather than by section. Each title 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.
