    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 3994, to 
authorize economic and democratic development assistance for 
Afghanistan and to authorize military assistance for 
Afghanistan and certain other foreign countries, under an open 
rule.
    The rule provides one hour of general debate equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on International Relations. The rule 
provides that it shall be in order to consider as an original 
bill for the purpose of amendment the amendment in the nature 
of a substitute recommended by the Committee on International 
Relations now printed in the bill.
    The rule provides that the committee amendment in the 
nature of a substitute shall be considered by title rather than 
by section. The rule allows the Chairman of the Committee of 
the Whole to accord priority in recognition to those Members 
who have pre-printed their amendments in the Congressional 
Record.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
