     Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1362) to reform 
            acquisition practices of the Federal Government.

    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. 1362) to reform 
acquisition practices of the Federal Government. 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 clauses 
9 or 10 of rule XXI. General debate shall be confined to the bill and 
shall not exceed one hour and 20 minutes, with one hour equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and 20 minutes equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Armed Services. After general debate the bill shall be 
considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the 
amendments recommended by the Committee on Oversight and Government 
Reform and the Committee on Armed Services now printed in the bill, 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 printed in part A of the report of the Committee on Rules 
accompanying this resolution. That amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived except those 
arising under clauses 9 or 10 of rule XXI. Notwithstanding clause 11 of 
rule XVIII, no amendment to that amendment in the nature of a 
substitute shall be in order except those printed in part B of the 
report of the Committee on Rules. Each such amendment may be offered 
only in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by a 
Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of 
order against such amendments are waived except those arising under 
clauses 9 or 10 of rule XXI. 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 amendment in the nature of 
a substitute made in order as original text. 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.
    Sec. 2. During consideration in the House of H.R. 1362 pursuant to 
this resolution, notwithstanding the operation of the previous 
question, the Chair may postpone further consideration of the bill to a 
time designated by the Speaker.
