    Resolved,  That at any time after the adoption of this resolution

with. All points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. 
General debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed 90 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. After general debate 
the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule. 
It shall be in order to consider as an original bill for the purpose of 
amendment under the five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on the Judiciary now printed in 
the bill. The committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall 
be considered as read. Notwithstanding clause 11 of rule XVIII, no 
amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute 
shall be in order except those printed in the report of the Committee 
on Rules accompanying this resolution. Each such amendment may be 
offered only in the order printed in the report, may be offered only by 
a Member designated in the report, shall be considered as read, shall 
be debatable for the time specified in the report equally divided and 
controlled by the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to 
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of the 
question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points of 
order against such amendments are waived. 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. Any Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any 
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 without intervening motion except one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions.
