record | 5 | | vote of a majority of those elected, subject to Rule 69. A bill | 6 | | that
has
lost on third reading and has not been reconsidered | 7 | | may not thereafter be
revived. If a motion for the adoption of | 8 | | a first conference committee report fails and the motion is not | 9 | | reconsidered, then a second conference committee may be | 10 | | appointed as provided in Rule 76(c).
