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.  Upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to consider 
in the House the bill (H.R. 5424) to amend the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 
and to direct the Securities and Exchange Commission to amend its rules to 
modernize certain requirements relating to investment advisers, and for other 
purposes. All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. The 
amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on 
Financial Services now printed in the bill shall be considered as adopted. The 
bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. All points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. The previous question shall be

controlled by the proponent and an opponent, and shall not be subject to a 
demand for a division of the question; and (3) one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
