    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution the Speaker 
may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule XVIII, declare the House resolved into the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 3) to approve the construction, operation, and maintenance of the 
Keystone XL pipeline, and for other purposes. The first reading of the bill 
shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of the bill 
are waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 90 
minutes equally divided among and controlled by the respective chairs and 
ranking minority members of the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, 
Energy and Commerce, and Natural Resources. After general debate the bill shall 
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. In lieu of the 
amendments in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committees on 
Transportation and Infrastructure, Energy and Commerce, and Natural Resources 
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 of Rules Committee Print 113-11. 
That amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be considered as read. All 
points of order against that amendment in the nature of a substitute are waived. 
No amendment to that amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in order 
except those printed in the report of the Committee on Rules accompanying this 
resolution. Each such amendment may be offered only in the order printed in the 
report, may be offered only by a Member designated in the report, shall be 
considered as read, shall be 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.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
