                       [To accompany H. Res. 171]
    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 171, by a non-record vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

               brief summary of provisions of resolution

    The resolution provides an open rule for the consideration 
of H.R. 1905, the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill for 
Fiscal Year 1996. The rule provides one hour of general debate 
divided equally between the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Appropriations. The bill will be 
read by title for amendment, and each title will be considered 
as read.
    The rule waives clauses 2 and 6 of rule XXI, prohibiting 
unauthorized appropriations and legislative provisions, and 
prohibiting reappropriations, respectively, against provisions 
of the bill except for the proviso beginning on page 6 at line 
6. The rule first makes in order an amendment by Representative 
Shuster (PA) printed in this report. The amendment shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for 10-minutes, equally 
divided between the proponent and an opponent. The amendment is 
not subject to amendment or to a demand for a division of the 
question in the House or Committee of the Whole. All points of 
order are waived against the amendment. If adopted, the 
amendment shall be considered as original text for the purpose 
of further amendment under the five-minute rule. The rule 
authorizes the Chair to accord priority in recognition to 
Members who have pre-printed their amendments in the 
Congressional Record. The rule provides one motion to recommit, 
with or without instructions.
