    Resolved,  That at any time after the adoption of this resolution

shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. 
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

the Judiciary now printed in the bill. The committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order 
against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute are

Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those

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 clause 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 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. 1908 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.
