considered as ordered on the joint resolution, as amended, and

intervening motion except as specified. It provides for an 
amendment by the Minority Leader or his designee, which will be 
considered as read, and which will be debatable for one hour 
equally divided between the proponent and an opponent.
    Finally the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
