            (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 
            introduction, such committee or committees shall be 
            automatically discharged from further consideration of the 
            bill or resolution and it shall be placed on the appropriate 
            calendar. A vote on final passage of 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 
            committee or committees of that House to which it was 
            referred, or after such 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--
                            (A) the procedure in that House shall be the 
                        same as if no implementing bill or approval 
                        resolution had been received from 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 or resolution 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.
                (3) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2), in computing 
            a number of days in either House, there shall be excluded 
            any day on which that House is 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.
                (2) Debate in the House of Representatives on an

            implementing bill or approval resolution or to move to 
            reconsider the vote by which an implementing bill or 
            approval resolution is agreed to or disagreed to.

            appeal in connection with a 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 resolution, 
            except that in the event the manager of the 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 a 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 on a 
            resolution, debatable motion, or appeal is not debatable. No 
            amendment to, or motion to recommit, a resolution is in 
            order in the Senate.
            (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 this 
            section or section 2193(a) of this title, 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.
                (3) Consideration in the Senate of any veto message with 
            respect to a joint resolution described in subsection 
            (a)(2)(B) or section 2193(a) of this title, 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. (Pub. L.

            is not approved with respect to any country.
            (b) Application of rules of section 2192 of this title; 
                exceptions
                (1) Except as provided in this section, the provisions 
            of section 2192 of this title shall apply to resolutions 
            described in subsection (a).

            calendar days shall be counted.
                (3) That part of section 2192(d)(2) of this title which 
            provides that no amendment is in order shall not apply to

            Representatives on any amendment to a resolution shall be 
            limited to not more than 1 hour which shall be equally 
            divided between those favoring and those opposing the 
            amendment. A motion in the House to further limit debate on

            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 
            their 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

            under section 2252(e)(1) of this title, the President shall

            (c) Waiver authority of President
                (1) During the 18-month period beginning on January 3, 
            1975, the President is authorized to waive by Executive 
            order the application of subsections (a) and (b) with 
            respect to any country, if he reports to the 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.
                (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, if the waiver authority 
            granted by this subsection continues to apply to such 
            country pursuant to subsection (d), and if he reports to the 
            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) Extension of waiver authority
                (1) If the President determines that the further 
            extension of the waiver authority granted under subsection 
            (c) will substantially promote the objectives of this 
            section, he may recommend further extensions of 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 Representatives and the Senate setting 
                        forth his reasons for 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 continuation 
                        of the waiver applicable to that country will 
                        substantially promote the objectives of this 
                        section, and a 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 author

                            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 of 
                            the last day of the 60-day period referred

                (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
