and extend the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. The first reading of 
the bill shall be dispensed with. 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 Commerce. After general debate the

five-minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Commerce now printed in the bill. Each section of the committee

amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be in 
order except those printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated 
for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII and except pro forma amendments for 
the purpose of debate. Each amendment so printed may be offered only by the 
Member who caused it to be printed or his designee and shall be considered as 
read. The Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time 
during further consideration in the Committee of the Whole a request for a 
recorded vote on any amendment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the minimum time 
for electronic voting on any postponed question that follows another electronic 
vote without intervening business, provided that the minimum time for electronic 
voting on the first in any series of questions shall be 15 minutes. 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.
