Agriculture to make loans to certain entities that will use the funds to make

technologies to reduce home energy use. The first reading of the bill shall be 
dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived

the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu 
of the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on 
Agriculture now printed in the bill, it shall be in order to consider as an 
original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule the

and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to 
a demand for division of the question. 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. 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.  The Chair may entertain a motion that the Committee rise only if 
offered by the chair of the Committee on Agriculture or his designee. The Chair
