			 confined to the bill and shall not exceed 90 minutes 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 the amendment in
			 the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on the Judiciary now

			 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 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
