shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Financial 
Services. After general debate the bill shall be considered for 
amendment under the five-minute rule. It shall be in order to consider

of the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
considered as read. During consideration of the bill for amendment, the

of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill

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.
