    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 (H.R. 556) to ensure national security while promoting 
foreign investment and the creation and maintenance of jobs, to reform the 
process by which such investments are examined for any effect they may have on

United States, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived 
except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. General debate shall be 
confined to the bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and 
controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Financial Services. 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 
Financial Services now printed in the bill. Each section of the committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. 
Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the committee amendment 
in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those printed in the 
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of 
rule XVIII and except pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate. Each 
amendment so printed may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be 
printed or his designee and shall be considered as read. 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 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 without instructions.
