   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2262) to modify the

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

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 Natural Resources. 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 Natural Resources 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 waived except those arising under

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. 2262 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.
