              (B) he has received assurances that the emigration practices

            of that country will henceforth lead substantially to the

    [[Page 1197]]

            achievement of the objectives of this section.

      (2) During any period subsequent to the 18-month period referred to in
    paragraph (1), the President is authorized to waive by Executive order
    the application of subsections (a) and (b) with respect to any country,

    Congress that--

              (A) he has determined that such waiver will substantially

            promote the objectives of this section; and

              (B) he has received assurances that the emigration practices

            of that country will henceforth lead substantially to the

            achievement of the objectives of this section.

      (3) A waiver with respect to any country shall terminate on the day
    after the waiver authority granted by this subsection ceases to be
    effective with respect to such country pursuant to subsection (d). The
    President may, at any time, terminate by Executive order any waiver
    granted under this subsection.

      (d)(1) If the President determines that the further extension of the

    such authority for successive 12-month periods. Any such recommendations
    shall--

              (A) be made not later than 30 days before the expiration of

            such authority;

              (B) be made in a document transmitted to the House of

            recommending the extension of such authority; and

              (C) include, for each country with respect to which a waiver

            granted under subsection (c) is in effect, a determination that

    [[Page 1198]]

            statement setting forth his reasons for such determination.
    If the President recommends the further extension of such authority,
    such authority shall continue in effect until the end of the 12-month
    period following the end of the previous 12-month extension with respect
    to any country (except for any country with respect to which such
    authority has not been extended under this subsection), unless a joint
    resolution described in section 153(a) is enacted into law pursuant to
    the provisions of paragraph (2).

      (2)(A) The requirements of this paragraph are met if the joint
    resolution is enacted under the procedures set forth in section 153,

              (i) the Congress adopts and transmits the joint resolution to

            the President before the end of the 60-day period beginning on

            the date the waiver authority would expire but for an extension

            under paragraph (1), and

              (ii) if the President vetoes the joint resolution, each House

            of Congress votes to override such veto on or before the later

            or the last day of the 15-day period (excluding any day

            described in section 154(b)) beginning on the date the Congress

            receives the veto message from the President.

      (B) If a joint resolution is enacted into law under the provisions of
    this paragraph, the waiver authority applicable to any country with
    respect to which the joint resolution disapproves of the extension of
    such authority shall cease to be effective as of the day after the 60-
    day period beginning on the date of the enactment of the joint
    resolution.

      (C) A joint resolution to which this subsection and section 153 apply
    may be introduced at any time on or after the date the President
    transmits to the Congress the document described in paragraph (1)(B).

    [[Page 1199]]

      Sec. 407. procedure for congressional approval or disapproval of
    extension of nondiscriminatory treatment and presidential reports.--(a)
    Whenever the President issues a proclamation under section 404 extending

    shall promptly transmit to the House of Representatives and to the
    Senate a document setting forth the proclamation and the agreement the
    proclamation proposes to implement, together with his reasons therefor.

      (b) The President shall transmit to the House of Representatives and
    the Senate a document containing the initial report submitted by him
    under section 402(b) or 409(b) with respect to a nonmarket economy

    may be, to be submitted on or before such December 31.

      (c)(1) In the case of a document referred to in subsection (a), the
    proclamation set forth in the document may become effective and the
    agreement set forth in the document may enter into force and effect only
    if a joint resolution described in section 151(b)(3) that approves of
    the extension of nondiscriminatory treatment to the products of the
    country concerned is enacted into law.

    [[Page 1200]]

      (2) In the case of a document referred to in subsection (b) which
    contains a report submitted by the President under section 402(b) or
    409(b) with respect to a nonmarket economy country, if, before the close
    of the 90-day period beginning on the day on which such document is
    delivered to the House of Representatives and to the Senate, a joint
    resolution described in section 152(a)(i)(B) is enacted into law that
    disapproves of the report submitted by the President with respect to
    such country, then, beginning with the day after the end of the 60-day
    period beginning with the date of the enactment of such resolution of
    disapproval, (A) nondiscriminatory treatment shall not be in force with
    respect to the products of such country, and the products of such
    country shall be dutiable at the rates set forth in rate column numbered
    2 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (B) such
    country may not participate in any program of the Government of the
    United States which extends credit or credit guarantees or investment
    guarantees, and (C) no commercial agreement may thereafter be concluded
    with such country under this title. If the President vetoes the joint
    resolution, the joint resolution shall be treated as enacted into law
    before the end of the 90-day period under this paragraph if both Houses
    of Congress vote to override such veto on or before the later of the
    last day of such 90-day period or the last day of the 15-day period
    (excluding any day described in section 154(b)) beginning on the date
    the Congress receives the veto message from the President.

    section and sections 152 and 153 are enacted by the Congress--

            they are inconsistent therewith; and

    is not in session on the day on which such a trade agreement is
    submitted, the implementing bill shall be introduced in that House as

    committee or committees have been discharged from further consideration
    of the bill or resolution. If prior to the passage by one House of an
    implementing bill or approval resolution of that House, that House
    receives the same implementing bill or approval resolution from the
    other House, then--
      (e) period for committee and floor consideration.--(1) Except as
    provided in paragraph (2), if the committee or committees of either
    House to which an implementing bill or approval resolution has been
    referred have not reported it at the close of the 45th day after its

    the bill or resolution shall be taken in each House on or before the
    close of the 15th day after the bill or resolution is reported by the

            the other House; but

              (B) the vote on final passage shall be on the implementing

            bill or approval resolution of the other House.

      (2) The provisions of paragraph (1) shall not apply in the Senate to
    an implementing revenue bill or resolution. An implementing revenue bill
    or resolution received from the House shall be referred to the
    appropriate committee or committees of the Senate. If such committee or
    committees have not reported such bill at the close of the 15th day
    after its receipt by the Senate (or, if later, before the close of the
    45th day after the corresponding implementing revenue bill or resolution
    was introduced in the Senate), such committee or committees shall be
    automatically discharged from further consideration of such bill or
    resolution and it shall be placed on the calendar. A vote on final
    passage of such bill or resolution shall be taken in the Senate on or
    before the close of the 15th day after such bill or resolution is
    reported by the committee or committees of the Senate to which it was
    referred, or after such committee or committees have been discharged
    from further consideration of such bill or resolution.

    days in either House, there shall be excluded any day on which that
    House was not in session.

      (f) floor consideration in the house.--(1) A motion in the House of
    Representatives to proceed to the consideration of an implementing bill
    or approval resolution shall be highly privileged and not debatable. An
    amendment to the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order
    to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or
    disagreed to.

    [[Page 1204]]

    sider the vote by which an implementing bill or approval resolution is
    agreed to or disagreed to.
      (2) Debate in the House of Representatives on an implementing bill or
    approval resolution shall be limited to not more than 20 hours, which
    shall be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the
    bill or resolution. A motion further to limit debate shall not be
    debatable. It shall not be in order to move to recommit an implementing
    bill or approval resolution or to move to recon

      (3) Motions to postpone, made in the House of Representatives with
    respect to the consideration of an implementing bill or approval
    resolution, and motions to proceed to the consideration of other
    business, shall be decided without debate.

      (4) All appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the
    application of the Rules of the House of Representatives to the
    procedure relating to an implementing bill or approval resolution shall
    be decided without debate.

      (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the preceding
    provisions of this subsection, consideration of an implementing bill or
    approval resolution shall be governed by the Rules of the House of
    Representatives applicable to other bills and resolutions in similar
    circumstances.

      (g) floor consideration in the senate.--(1) A motion in the Senate to
    proceed to the consideration of an implementing bill or approval
    resolution shall be privileged and not debatable. An amendment to the
    motion shall not be in order, nor shall it be in order to move to
    reconsider the vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to.

      (2) Debate in the Senate on an implementing bill or approval
    resolution, and all debatable motions and appeals in connection
    therewith, shall be limited to not more than 20 hours. The time shall be
    equally divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the
    minority leader or their designees.

      (3) Debate in the Senate on any debatable motion or appeal in
    connection with an implementing bill or approval resolution shall be
    limited to not more than 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and
    controlled by, the mover and the manager of the bill or resolution,
    except that in the event the manager of the bill or resolution is in
    favor of any such motion or appeal, the time in opposition thereto,
    shall be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. Such
    leaders, or either of them, may, from time under their control on the
    passage of an implementing bill or approval resolution, allot additional
    time to any Senator during the consideration of any debatable motion or
    appeal.

      (4) A motion in the Senate to further limit debate is not debatable. A
    motion to recommit an implementing bill or approval resolution is not in
    order.

    [[Page 1205]]

    other distribution of the time); a motion to limit debate on such
    legislation must be made in the House, and not in the Committee of the
    Whole, and may be made either pending the motion to resolve into
    Committee of the Whole or at a later time, after the Committee has risen
    without completing action on the bill (July 10, 1979, pp. 17812, 17813).
    An implementing bill reported from committee has been considered as
    privileged under the Act (Nov. 14, 1980, p. 29617). The House has
    adopted a special order recommended by the Committee on Rules providing
    for consideration of both a resolution to deny the extension of ``fast-
    track'' procedures requested by the President under section 1103(b) of
    the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 and a resolution to
    express the sense of the House concerning U.S. negotiating objectives
    after such an extension (May 23, 1991, p. 12137). For other special
    orders altering procedures under the Trade Act of 1974, see, e.g., July
    27, 2005, p. 17978; Apr. 10, 2008, p. 5640. The Senate has affirmed its
    constitutional authority to enact a statutory rule (as in subsection (d)
    of section 151) prohibiting amendments to specified revenue bills in
    derogation of its constitutional authority to propose amendments to
    House revenue bills (presiding officer sustained on appeal) (Nov. 19,
    1993, p. 30641).

    [[Page 1208]]

      (f) procedures in the senate.--(1) Except as otherwise provided in
    this section, the following procedures shall apply in the Senate to a
    resolution to which this section applies:

              (A)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii), a resolution that

            has passed the House of Representatives shall, when received in

            the Senate, be referred to the Committee on Finance for

            consideration in accordance with this section.

              (ii) If a resolution to which this section applies was

            introduced in the Senate before receipt of a resolution that has

            passed the House of Representatives, the resolution from the

            House of Representatives shall, when received in the Senate, be

            placed on the calendar. If this clause applies, the procedures

            in the Senate with respect to a resolution introduced in the

            Senate that contains the identical matter as the resolution that

            passed the House of Representatives shall be the same as if no

            resolution had been received from the House of Representatives,

            except that the vote on passage in the Senate shall be on the

            resolution that passed the House of Representatives.

              (B) If the Senate passes a resolution before receiving from

            the House of Representatives a joint resolution that contains

            the identical matter, the joint resolution shall be held at the

            desk pending receipt of the joint resolution from the House of

            Representatives. Upon receipt of the joint resolution from the

            House of Representatives, such joint resolution shall be deemed

            to be read twice, considered, read the third time, and passed.

      (2) If the texts of joint resolutions described in section 152 or
    153(a), whichever is applicable concerning any matter are not
    identical--

              (A) the Senate shall vote passage on the resolution introduced

            in the Senate, and

              (B) the text of the joint resolution passed by the Senate

            shall, immediately upon its passage (or, if later, upon receipt

            of the joint resolution passed by the House), be substituted for

            the text of the joint resolution passed by the House of

            Representatives, and such resolution, as amended, shall be

            returned with a request for a conference between the two Houses.

    [[Page 1209]]

      (3) Consideration in the Senate of any veto message with respect to a
    joint resolution described in subsection (a)(2)(B) or section 153(a),
    including consideration of all debatable motions and appeals in
    connection therewith, shall be limited to 10 hours, to be equally
    divided between, and controlled by, the majority leader and the minority
    leader or their designees.

      Although a motion that the House resolve itself into the Committee of
    the Whole is not ordinarily subject to the motion to postpone
    indefinitely (VI, 726), the motion to postpone indefinitely may be
    offered pursuant to the provisions of this statute, is nondebatable, and
    represents final adverse disposition of the disapproval resolution (Mar.
    10, 1977, p. 7021).

    or to striking out or inserting a with-respect-to clause. Debate in the
    House of Representatives on any amendment to a resolution shall be

    resolution is in favor of any such amendment, the time in opposition
    thereto shall be controlled by the minority leader or his designee. The
    majority leader and minority leader may, from time under the control on
    the passage of a resolution, allot additional time to any Senator during
    the consideration of any amendment. A motion in the Senate to further
    limit debate on an amendment to a resolution is not debatable.
      (4) That part of section 152(e)(4) which provides that no amendment is
    in order shall not apply to any amendment to a resolution which is
    limited to striking out or inserting the names of one or more countries
    or to striking out or inserting a with-respect-to clause. The time limit
    on a debate on a resolution in the Senate under section 152(e)(2)

      (c) consideration of second resolution not in order.--It shall not be
    in order in either the House of Representatives or the Senate to
    consider a resolution with respect to a recommendation of the President
    under section 402(d) (other than a resolution described in subsection
    (a) received from the other House), if that House has adopted a
    resolution with respect to the same recommendation.

      (d) procedures relating to conference reports in the senate.--(1)
    Consideration in the Senate of the conference report on any joint

    between, and controlled by, the mover and the manager of the conference
    report.

      (2) In any case in which there are amendments in disagreement, time on
    each amendment shall be limited to 30 minutes, to be equally divided
    between, and controlled by, the manager of the conference report and the
    minority leader or his designee. No amendment to any amendment in
    disagreement shall be received unless it is a germane amendment.
