(4) This subsection is enacted by Congress— (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed in that House in the case of resolutions described by paragraph (5) of this subsection; and it supersedes other rules only to the extent that it is inconsistent therewith; and (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the respective House. (5) The joint resolution approving the comprehensive strategy under this part shall read as follows after the resolving clause: "That the Congress of the United States approves the comprehensive strategy submitted to the Congress by the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation on and dollars are hereby authorized to be appropriated without fiscal year limitation to the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase and retain notes or other obligations of the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation.", the first blank space therein being filled with the date and year, the second blank space therein being filled with the appropriate dollar figure. (6)(A) If any committee to which such joint resolution with respect to the comprehensive strategy has been referred has not reported it at the end of 60 calendar days after its referral, it shall be in order to move either to discharge any such committee from further consideration of such joint resolution or to discharge any such committee from further consideration of any other joint resolution with respect to such comprehensive strategy which has been referred to such committee. (B) A motion to discharge may be made only by an individual favoring such joint resolution, shall be highly privileged (except that it may not be made after all committees to which such joint resolution has been referred have reported a joint resolution with respect to the comprehensive strategy), and debate thereon shall be limited to not more than 1 hour, to be divided equally between those favoring and those opposing the joint resolution. Except to the extent provided in paragraph (9)(A), an amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to. (C) If the motion to discharge is agreed to or disagreed to, the motion may not be renewed, nor may another motion to discharge the committee be made with respect to any other joint resolution with respect to the same comprehensive strategy. (7)(A) When all such committees have reported, or have been discharged from further consideration of, a joint resolution, it shall be at any time thereafter in order (even though a previous motion to the same effect has been disagreed to) to move to proceed to the consideration of such a joint resolution. The motion shall be highly privileged and shall not be debatable. An amendment to the motion shall not be in order, and it shall not be in order to move to reconsider the vote by which the motion was agreed to or disagreed to.
