  REPORT ON RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2372, THE 
           PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS IMPLEMENTATION ACT OF 2000

  Ms. PRYCE of Ohio, from the Committee on Rules, submitted a 
privileged report (Rept. No. 106-525) on the resolution (H. Res. 44) 
providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 2372) to simplify and 
expedite access to the Federal courts for injured parties whose rights 
and privileges, secured by the United States Constitution, have been 
deprived by final actions of Federal agencies, or other government 
officials or entities acting under color of State law; to prevent 
Federal courts from abstaining from exercising Federal jurisdiction in 
actions where no State law claim is alleged; to permit certification of 
unsettled State law questions that are essential to resolving Federal 
claims arising under the Constitution; and to clarify when government 
action is sufficiently final to ripen certain Federal claims arising 
under the Constitution, which was referred to the House Calendar and 
ordered to be printed.
