     Secretary shall revoke a designation made under paragraph (1) 
     with respect to a particular organization if the Secretary

     designation have changed in such a manner as to warrant such

       ``(C) Joint resolution.--
       ``(i) In general.--A revocation under subparagraph (B)

       ``(iii) Committee referral.--A joint resolution described

[[Page S941]]

     resolution described in subclause (I) that is introduced in 
     the Senate shall be referred to the Committee on Foreign 
     Relations of the Senate. Such a resolution may not be 
     reported before the eighth day after its introduction.
       ``(iv) Discharge.--If the committee to which a joint 
     resolution described in clause (i) is referred does not 
     report such resolution (or an identical resolution) within 15 
     days after its introduction--

       ``(I) such committee shall be discharged from further 
     consideration of such resolution; and
       ``(II) such resolution shall be placed on the appropriate 
     calendar of the House involved.

       ``(v) Privileged motion.--When the committee to which a 
     resolution is referred has reported, or has been deemed to be 
     discharged from further consideration of, a resolution 
     described in clause (i), notwithstanding any rule or 
     precedent of the Senate, including Rule 22, it is at any time 
     thereafter in order (even if a previous motion to the same 
     effect has been disagreed to) for any Member of the 
     respective House to move to proceed to the consideration of 
     the resolution, and all points of order against the 
     resolution (and against consideration of the resolution) are 
     waived. The motion is highly privileged in the House of 
     Representatives and is privileged in the Senate and is not 
     debatable. The motion is not subject to amendment, to a 
     motion to postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the 
     consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider the 
     vote by which such motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall 
     not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the consideration 
     of the resolution is agreed to, the resolution shall remain 
     the unfinished business of the respective House until 
     disposed.
       ``(vi) Debate.--Debate on a joint resolution described in 
     clause (i), and on all debatable motions and appeals in 
     connection therewith, shall be limited to not more than 10 
     hours, which shall be divided equally between those favoring 
     and those opposing the resolution. A motion to further limit 
     debate is in order and not debatable. An amendment to the 
     joint resolution, a motion to postpone, a motion to proceed 
     to the consideration of other business, or a motion to 
     recommit the resolution is not in order. A motion to 
     reconsider the vote by which the resolution is agreed to or 
     disagreed to is not in order.
       ``(vii) Vote.--Immediately following the conclusion of the 
     debate on a joint resolution described in clause (i), and a 
     single quorum call at the conclusion of the debate if 
     requested in accordance with the rules of the appropriate 
     House, the vote on final passage of the resolution shall 
     occur.
       ``(viii) Appeals.--Appeals from the decisions of the Chair 
     relating to the application of the rules of the Senate or of 
     the House of Representatives, as the case may be, to the 
     procedure relating to a joint resolution described in clause 
     (i) shall be decided without debate.
       ``(ix) Procedures.--If, before the passage by the Senate of 
     a joint resolution of the Senate described in clause (i), the 
     Senate receives a joint resolution described in clause (i) 
     from the House of Representatives--

       ``(I) the resolution of the House of Representatives shall 
     not be referred to a committee;
       ``(II) with respect to a joint resolution of the Senate 
     described in clause (i)--

       ``(aa) the procedure in the Senate shall be the same as if 
     not resolution had been received from the House of 
     Representatives; and
       ``(bb) the vote on final passage shall be on the resolution 
     of the House of Representatives; and

       ``(III) upon disposition of the joint resolution received 
     from the House of Representatives, it shall no longer be in 
     order to consider the joint resolution that originated in the 
     Senate.

       ``(x) Senate action.--If the Senate receives a joint 
     resolution described in clause (i) from the House of 
     Representatives after the Senate has disposed of a joint 
     resolution described in clause (i) that originated in the 
     Senate, the action of the Senate regarding the disposition of 
     the Senate originated resolution shall be deemed to be the 
     action of the Senate with regard to the joint resolution that 
     originated in the House of Representatives.
       ``(D) Effect of revocation.--The revocation of a 
     designation under this paragraph shall not affect any action 
     or proceeding based on conduct committed before the effective 
     date of such revocation.''; and
       (3) by redesignating paragraph (8) as paragraph (6).
