  of the Union for the consideration of the joint resolution (H.J. Res. 350)
  proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorizing
  the Congress and the States to prohibit the physical desecration of the
  flag of the United States. After general debate, which shall be confined to

  joint resolution except amendments in the nature of a substitute as listed
  below, to be considered in the order specified by the Member designated
  or his designee. Said amendments shall be debatable for not to exceed two
  hours each to be equally divided and controlled by the Member offering the
  amendment and a Member opposed thereto, shall not be subject to amendment
  and shall be in order even if the previous amendment has been adopted:
  (1) an amendment by Representative Brooks of Texas; and
  (2) an amendment by Representative Douglas of New Hampshire.
  If more than one of the amendments in the nature of a substitute made in
  order by this resolution is adopted, only the last such amendment which

  the Committee of the Whole and reported back to the House.
  At the conclusion of the consideration of the joint resolution for amendment,
  the Committee shall rise and report the joint resolution to the House with
  such amendment as may have been adopted, and the previous question shall
  be considered as ordered on the joint resolution and any amendment thereto
  to final passage without intervening motion except one motion to recommit,
  with or without instructions.
