 Mr. Diaz-Balart, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 139]
    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 139, by a nonrecord vote, 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. 1361, 
the ``Coast Guard Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996'' 
under an open rule. The rule provides 1 hour of general debate 
divided equally between the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
    The rule waives section 302(f) (prohibiting consideration 
of legislation providing new entitlement authority in excess of 
a committee's allocation), section 401(b) (prohibiting 
consideration of legislation providing new entitlement 
authority which becomes effective during the fiscal year which 
ends in the calendar year in which the bill is reported), and 
section 308(a) (requiring a CBO cost estimate in the committee 
report on legislation containing new entitlement, spending, or 
budget authority, or a change in revenues) of the Congressional 
Budget Act of 1974 against consideration of the bill.
    The rule makes in order as an original bill for the purpose 
of amendment the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure now printed in the bill. The substitute shall be 
read by title rather than by section for amendment.
    The rule also waives section 302(f) and section 401(b) of 
the Congressional Budget Act and clause 5(a) of rule XXI 
(prohibiting appropriations in a legislative bill) against the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute.
    Finally, the rule provides for one motion to recommit, with 
or without instructions.
