resolution shall be considered as read. At the conclusion of 
consideration of the joint resolution for amendment the Committee shall 
rise and report the joint resolution to the House with such amendments 
as may have been adopted. The previous question shall be considered as 
ordered on the joint resolution and amendments thereto to final passage 
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
    Sec. 2. If the Committee of the Whole rises and reports that it has 
come to no resolution on the joint resolution, then on the next
