Committee Meetings
CONSOLIDATED AND REFORMED EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND REHABILITATION 
SYSTEMS ACT
Committee on Rules: Granted, by voice vote, an open rule providing 1 
hour of debate on H.R. 1617, Consolidated and Reformed Education, 
Employment, and Rehabilitation Systems Act.
  The rule makes in order an amendment in the nature of a substitute as 
an original bill for amendment purposes consisting of the text of H.R. 
2332. The substitute shall be considered by title rather than by 
section, and the first six sections and each title shall be considered 
as read. The rule waives section 302(f) (prohibiting consideration of 
legislation providing new entitlement authority in excess of a 
committee's allocation) and section 401(b) (prohibiting consideration 
of legislation providing new entitlement authority which becomes 
effective during the fiscal year which ends in the calendar year in 
which the bill is reported) of the Congressional Budget Act and clause 
5(a) of rule XXI (prohibiting appropriations in a legislative bill) 
against the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute.
  The rule provides for the consideration of the manager's amendment 
printed in the Rules Committee report, which is considered as read, not 
subject to amendment or to a division of the question, and is debatable 
for 10 minutes equally divided between the proponent and an opponent. 
If adopted, the amendment is considered as part of the base text for 
further amendment purposes.
  The rule authorizes the Chair to accord priority in recognition to 
Members who have preprinted their amendments in the Congressional 
Record. Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit, with or 
without instructions. Testimony was heard from Chairman Goodling and 
Representative McKeon.
