reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All points of order against
consideration of the bill are 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 Appropriations. After
general debate the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute

points of order are waived against part of a paragraph or section, points of
order against a provision in another part of such paragraph or section may be
made only against such provision and not against the entire paragraph or
section. During consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the
Committee of the Whole may accord priority in recognition on the basis of
whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it to be printed in the
portion of the Congressional Record designated for that purpose in clause 8 of
rule XVIII. Amendments so printed shall be considered as read. At the conclusion
of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report
the bill to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. The
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill and amendments
thereto to final passage without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
Attest:
Clerk.
