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

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 
Transportation and Infrastructure 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

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

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 pursuant to this resolution, the 
Committee of the Whole shall rise without motion. No further consideration of 
the bill shall be in order except pursuant to a subsequent order of the House.
    Sec. 2.  It shall be in order at any time on the legislative day of 
September 29, 2016, or September 30, 2016, for the Speaker to entertain motions 
that the House suspend the rules as though under clause 1 of rule XV. The 
Speaker or his designee shall consult with the Minority Leader or her designee 
on the designation of any matter for consideration pursuant to this section.
    Sec. 3.  The requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII for a two-thirds vote 
to consider a report from the Committee on Rules on the same day it is presented 
to the House is waived with respect to any resolution reported through the 
legislative day of September 30, 2016, relating to a measure making or 
continuing appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017.
