bill, as amended by that resolution, back to the House with sundry 
amendments adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
  The SPEAKER. Under the rule, the previous question is ordered.
  Is a separate vote demanded on any further amendment reported from 
the Committee of the Whole? If not, the Chair will put them en gros.
  The amendments were agreed to.
  The SPEAKER. The question is on the engrossment and third reading of 
the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.
