the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Education 
and Labor. After general debate the bill shall be considered for

    Sec. 2. (a) 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 Education

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 clause 10 of rule XXI.
    (b) Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the

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.
