H. Res. 301

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 18, 2007.
    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. 1257) to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 to provide shareholders with an advisory vote on executive compensation. 
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. 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 in a 
daily issue dated April 17, 2007, or earlier 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.
    Sec. 2. During consideration in the House of H.R. 1257 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
