rule. The bill shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
provisions in the bill 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

purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as 
read. 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

and amendments thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one 
motion to recommit with or without instructions.
