                (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.

                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 shall be limited to

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

                    (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.

                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

                equally divided between, and controlled by, the mover and

                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.

                            legislative day after the calendar day on which
                            the Member making the motion announces to the
                            House his intention to do so; and
                                (B) is not in order after the Committee has

                the majority leader and the minority leader or their
                designees. An amendment to the motion is not in order, and
                it is not in order to move to reconsider the vote by which

                shall be divided equally between those favoring and those
                opposing the resolution. A motion further to limit debate
                shall not be debatable. No amendment to, or motion to
                recommit, the resolution shall be in order. It shall not be

                Representatives with respect to the consideration of a

                shall be decided without debate.
                    (5) Except to the extent specifically provided in the
                preceding provisions of this subsection, consideration of a
                resolution in the House of Representatives shall be governed

                other resolutions in similar circumstances.
                (e) Floor consideration in the Senate
                    (1) A motion in the Senate to proceed to the
                consideration of a resolution shall be privileged. An
                amendment to the motion shall not be in order, nor shall it

                    (2) Debate in the Senate on a resolution, and all

                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 a resolution shall be limited to

                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

                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.

    [[Page 365]]

                                (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

                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.

                (b) Reports to Congress
                    (1) On the day the President takes action under
                subsection (a)(1), the President shall transmit to Congress
                a document describing the action and the reasons for taking
                the action. If the action taken by the President differs
                from the action required to be recommended by the Commission
                under section 2252(e)(1) of this title, the President shall
                state in detail the reasons for the difference.
                    (2) On the day on which the President decides that there
                is no appropriate and feasible action to take under
                subsection (a)(1) with respect to a domestic industry, the
                President shall transmit to Congress a document that sets
                forth in detail the reasons for the decision.
                    (3) On the day on which the President takes any action
                under subsection (a)(1) that is not reported under paragraph
                (1), the President shall transmit to Congress a document
                setting forth the action being taken and the reasons
                therefor.
                (c) Implementation of action recommended by Commission
                    If the President reports under subsection (b)(1) or (2)
                that--
                                (1) the action taken under subsection (a)(1)
                            differs from the action recommended by the
                            Commission under section 2252(e)(1) of this
                            title; or
                                (2) no action will be taken under subsection
                            (a)(1) with respect to the domestic industry;
                            the action recommended by the Commission shall
                            take effect (as provided in subsection (d)(2))
                            upon the enactment of a joint resolution

                (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

    [[Page 369]]

                ity has not been extended under this subsection), unless a
                joint resolution described in section 2193(a) of this title
                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 2193 of this title, and--

                                    (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 of
                                the last day of the 60-day period referred
                                to in clause (i) or the last day of the 15-

                                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 2193 of this title 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).

                a joint resolution described in section 2192(a)(1)(B) of
