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

House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of

the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 
In lieu of the amendments recommended by the Committees on the Budget 
and Rules 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 an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text

substitute shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. No amendment

debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall 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. 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 
amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order as original text. 
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.  It shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of 
February 9, 2012, for the Speaker to entertain motions that the House 
suspend the rules, as though under clause 1(c) of rule XV, relating to 
a measure addressing securities trading based on nonpublic information.
