(a) Waiver of provisions of Federal law

    The President may identify those provisions of Federal law 
(including any law or laws regarding the location of a crude oil 
transportation system but not including any provision of the antitrust 
laws) which, in the national interest, as determined by the President, 
should be waived in whole or in part to facilitate construction or 
operation of any such system approved under section 2007 of this title 
or of the Long Beach-Midland project, and he shall submit any such 
proposed waiver to both Houses of the Congress. The provisions so 
identified shall be waived with respect to actions to be taken to 
construct or operate such system or project only upon enactment of a 
joint resolution within the first period of 60 calendar days of 
continuous session of Congress beginning on the date of receipt by the 
House of Representatives and the Senate of such proposal.

(b) Joint resolution

    The resolving clause of the joint resolution referred to in 
subsection (a) of this section is as follows: ``That the House of 
Representatives and Senate approve the waiver of the provisions of law (  
      ) as proposed by the President, submitted to the Congress on        
    , 19  .''. The first blank space therein being filled with the 
citation to the provisions of law proposed to be waived by the President 
and the second blank space therein being filled with the date on which 
the President submits his decision to wave \1\ such provisions of law to 
the House of Representatives and the Senate. Rules and procedures for 
consideration of any such joint resolution shall be governed by section 
719f(c) and (d) of title 15, other than paragraph (2) of section 719f(d) 
of title 15, except that for the purposes of this subsection, the phrase 
``a waiver of provisions of law'' shall be substituted in section 
719f(d) of title 15 each place where the phrase ``an Alaska natural gas 
transportation system'' appears.
