    Ms. Pryce, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 130]
    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 130, by a record vote of 7 to 4, report the 
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution 
be adopted.

               Brief Summary of Provisions of Resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 483, 
the Medicare Select Expansion bill under a modified closed 
rule. The rule waives clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI, the three-day 
report availability requirement, against the consideration of 
the bill. The rule provides for one-hour of general debate 
divided equally between the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Commerce. It is then in order to 
consider an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting 
of the text of H.R. 1391 as the base bill for purposes of 
amendment. No further amendment is in order except an amendment 
in the nature of a substitute to be offered by Representative 
Dingell of Michigan or a designee. The substitute is not 
subject to amendment but is debatable for one-hour divided 
equally between the chairman and ranking minority member. The 
rule provides for one motion to recommit, with or without 
instructions. Finally the rule permits the filing of the 
Commerce Committee's report on H.R. 483 at any time. This 
latter provision is taken as a precautionary measure, though it 
is expected that the report of the Committee on Commerce will 
be filed with the House the day before the bill is considered.
