waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one
hour equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member
of the Committee on Science. After general debate the bill shall be considered

of a substitute shall be considered as read. During consideration of the bill
for amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may accord priority in

amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the committee
amendment in the nature of a substitute. The previous question shall be
considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage
