original bill for the purpose of further amendment under the five-minute rule 
and shall be considered as read. All points of order against provisions in the 
bill, as amended, are waived. No further amendment to the bill, as amended,

against such further amendments are waived. At the conclusion of consideration 
of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report the bill, as 
amended, to the House with such further amendments as may have been adopted. The 
previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, and on 
any further amendment thereto to final passage without intervening motion except 
one motion to recommit with or without instructions.
