    Resolved, That (a) at any time after 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 any 
bill specified in section 2 of this resolution. The first reading of each such 
bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against consideration of each 
such bill are waived. General debate on each such bill shall be confined to that 
bill and shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. After general 
debate each such bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute 
rule. Points of order against provisions in each such bill for failure to comply 
with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived.
    (b) During consideration of each such bill for amendment--
            (1) each amendment, other than amendments provided for in paragraph 
        (2), shall be debatable for 10 minutes equally divided and controlled by 
        the proponent and an opponent and shall not be subject to amendment 
        except as provided in paragraph (2);
            (2) no pro forma amendment shall be in order except that the chair 
        and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations or their 
        respective designees may offer up to 10 pro forma amendments each at any 
        point for the purpose of debate; and
            (3) the chair of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in 
        recognition on the basis of whether the Member offering an amendment has 
        caused it to be printed in the portion of the Congressional Record 
        designated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII. Amendments so 
        printed shall be considered as read.
    (c) When the committee rises and reports any such bill back to the House 
with a recommendation that the bill do pass, the previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on that bill and amendments thereto to final passage 
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
