TREASURY--POSTAL SERVICE APPROPRIATIONS
Committee on Rules: Granted an open rule providing one hour of general 
debate on H.R. 2020, making appropriations for the Treasury Department, 
the United States Postal Service, the Executive Office of the 
President, and certain Independent Agencies for the fiscal year ending 
September 30, 1996. The rule waives clause 2 (prohibiting unauthorized 
and legislative provisions), and clause 6 (prohibiting 
reappropriations) of rule XXI against provisions in the bill, except as 
follows: beginning with ``Provided further'' on page 33, line 2, 
through ``Maryland:'' on line 13; and page 42, line 9, through page 43, 
line 6.
  The rule provides for the reading of the bill by title, rather than 
by paragraph or numbered section, for amendment, and each title is 
considered as read. The rule authorizes the Chairman of the Committee 
of the Whole to accord priority in recognition to Members who have pre-
printed their amendment in the Congressional Record. Finally, the rule 
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. Testimony 
was hear from Representatives Lighfoot, Dornan, Cox, McIntosh, Hoyer, 
and Schroeder.
