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

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
