                               RESOLUTION


 
   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 4760) to amend the 
    immigration laws and the homeland security laws, and for other 
                               purposes.

    Resolved, That on the next legislative day after the adoption of 
this resolution, immediately after the third daily order of business 
under clause 1 of rule XIV, the House shall resolve into the Committee 
of the Whole House on the State of the Union for consideration of the 
bill (H.R. 4760) to amend the immigration laws and the homeland 
security laws, 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 one hour equally divided and controlled by the 
Majority Leader and the Minority Whip or their respective designees. 
After general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under 
the five-minute rule. The bill shall be considered as read. All points 
of order against provisions in the bill are waived. No amendment shall 
be in order except the amendments in the nature of a substitute 
specified in section 2 of this resolution. Each such amendment may be 
offered only in the order specified, may be offered only by the Member 
designated, shall be considered as read, and shall be debatable for 40 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the proponent and an 
opponent. All points of order against such amendments are waived 
(except those arising under clause 7 of rule XVI). Clause 6(g) of rule 
XVIII shall not apply with respect to a request for a recorded vote on 
any such amendment. If more than one such amendment is adopted, then 
only the one receiving the greater number of affirmative recorded votes 
shall be considered as finally adopted. In the case of a tie for the 
greater number of affirmative recorded votes, then only the last 
amendment to receive that number of affirmative recorded votes shall be 
considered as finally adopted. After the conclusion of consideration of 
the bill for amendment, the Committee shall rise and report the bill to 
the House with such amendment as may have been finally adopted. 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. If the Committee 
of the Whole rises and reports that it has come to no resolution on the 
bill, then on the next legislative day the House shall, immediately 
after the third daily order of business under clause 1 of rule XIV, 
resolve into the Committee of the Whole for further consideration of 
the bill.
    Sec. 2.  The amendments in the nature of a substitute referred to 
in the first section of this resolution are as follows:
            (1) A proper amendment in the nature of a substitute, if 
        offered by Representative Goodlatte of Virginia or his 
        designee.
            (2) A proper amendment in the nature of a substitute, if 
        offered by Representative Roybal-Allard of California or her 
        designee.
            (3) A proper amendment in the nature of a substitute, if 
        offered by Representative Ryan of Wisconsin or his designee.
            (4) A proper amendment in the nature of a substitute, if 
        offered by Representative Denham of California or his designee.
    Sec. 3.  Clause 1(c) of rule XIX shall not apply to the 
consideration of H.R. 4760.
