 Providing for the consideration of the bill (H.R. 1769) to amend the

    Resolved, That immediately upon adoption of this resolution the

Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the bill 
(H.R. 1769) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to comply with 
the World Trade Organization rulings on the FSC/ETI benefit in a manner 
that preserves jobs and production activities in the United States. The 
first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order 
against consideration of the bill are waived. General debate shall be 
confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and

which may be offered only by the Member designated or a designee, shall 
be considered as read, shall be debatable for one hour equally divided 
and controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be 
subject to amendment. All points of order against the amendments are 
waived (except those arising under clause 7 of rule XVI and except that 
the adoption of an amendment in the nature of a substitute shall 
constitute the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment). 
At the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment, the 
Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House with such 
amendment as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the bill and amendment thereto to final

    Sec. 2. The amendments referred to in the first section of this 
resolution are as follows:
            (1) Amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of 
        the text of H.R. 3827, with such modifications as the proponent 
        may determine, by Representative Rangel of New York.
            (2) Amendment in the nature of a substitute by 
        Representative Thomas of California.
    Sec. 3. If the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the bill, then on the next legislative day the 
House shall, immediately after the third daily order of business under 
clause 1 of rule XIV, resolve into the Committee of the Whole for the 
further consideration of the bill.
