against provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. Notwithstanding 
clause 11 of rule XVIII, no amendment to the bill, as amended, shall be

House. All points of order against that motion are waived. If the 
motion is adopted and the Senate bill, as amended, is passed, then it 
shall be in order to move that the House insist on its amendments to S. 
1418 and request a conference with the Senate thereon.
    Sec. 3. House Resolution 924 is laid upon the table.
