   Providing 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.

    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.
