Sixth. motions to strike any sections of the original text made in order as part II by the substitute rule. The amendments would not be subject to further amendments or to a division of the question. and debate times are specified in the rule for each category of amendments. Finally. the rule provides for one motion to recommit. with or without instructions. and for a hookup with the Senatepassed immigration bill for the purpose of going to conference. Mr. Speaker. the substitute rule I am proposing is nearly identical to the combined provisions of the Justice and immigration rules previously reported by the Rules Committee. but with several important exceptions. First. 3 hours of general debate are provided to permit ample discussion of the immigration issue. Second. the immigration bill reported by the Judiciary Committee is made in order as the base for amendment rather than the Rules Committee substitute. This has been done for two reasons. First. the Rules Committee print on its substitute is not yet available from GPO due to some printing errors and problems.
