    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 (S. 1920) to extend for 6 
months the period for which chapter 12 of title 11 of the United States 
Code is reenacted. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed 
with. General debate shall be confined to the bill and the amendments 
made in order by this resolution and shall not exceed one hour equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on the Judiciary. 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 an amendment in the nature of a substitute 
consisting of the text of H.R. 975 as passed by the House. That 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. 
All points of order against that amendment in the nature of a 
substitute are waived. No amendment to that amendment in the nature of 
a substitute shall be in order except those printed in the report of 
the Committee on Rules. Each such amendment may be offered only in the 
order printed in the report, may be offered only by a Member designated 
in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the 
time specified in the report equally divided and controlled by the 
proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall 
not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the House or 
in the Committee of the Whole. All points of order against such 
amendments are waived. 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 amendment in the nature of a substitute 
made in order as original text. 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.
    Sec. 2. If the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it shall be 
in order to move that the House insist on its amendment to S. 1920 and 
request a conference thereon.
