    Resolved, That upon the adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to 
consider in the House the bill (H.R. 3648) to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 
1986 to exclude discharges of indebtedness on principal residences from gross 
income, and for other purposes. All points of order against consideration of the 
bill are waived except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. The 
amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Ways and 
Means now printed in the bill, modified by the amendment printed in the report 
of the Committee on Rules accompanying this resolution, shall be considered as 
adopted. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. All points of order 
against provisions of the bill, as amended, are waived. The previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, to final passage without 
intervening motion except: (1) one hour of debate equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means; 
and (2) one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
    Sec. 2.  During consideration of H.R. 3648 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.
