   Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2589) to amend the 
    provisions of title 17, United States Code, with respect to the 
             duration of copyright, and for other purposes.

    Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this resolution 
the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 1(b) of rule XXIII, declare the 
House resolved into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of 
the Union for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2589) to amend the 
provisions of title 17, United States Code, with respect to the 
duration of copyright, and for other purposes. 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 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. No 
amendment to the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute 
shall be in order unless printed in the portion of the Congressional 
Record designated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Points of 
order against the amendment printed in the Congressional Record and 
numbered 1 pursuant to clause 6 of rule XXIII for failure to comply 
with clause 7 of rule XVI are waived. 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 of 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.
