controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Oversight and Government Reform; (2) the amendment printed in the report of the 
Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, if offered by Representative 
Davis of Illinois or his designee, which shall be in order without intervention 
of any point of order except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI, 
shall be considered as read, and shall be separately debatable for 10 minutes 
equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an opponent; and (3) one 
motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2.  During consideration of H.R. 5781 pursuant to this resolution, 
notwithstanding the operation of the previous question, the Chair may postpone 
further consideration of the bill to such time as may be designated by the 
Speaker.
