                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 197]
    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 197, 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 for the consideration of H.R. 70, 
the Exports of Alaskan North Slope Oil under an open rule. The 
rule provides one hour of general debate divided equally 
between the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Resources.
    The rule makes in order the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Resources Committee as an 
original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five 
minute rule.
    The rule further authorizes the Chair to accord priority in 
recognition to Members who have preprinted their amendments in 
the Congressional Record. The rule allows the Chair to postpone 
votes in the Committee of the Whole and reduce votes to five 
minutes, if those votes follow a 15-minute vote.
    After passage of H.R. 70, the rule allows for consideration 
of S. 395 in the House and a motion to amend the bill as 
described in the rule, and one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions. The rule finally allows for a motion that 
the House insist on its amendments to S. 395 and request a 
conference with the Senate.
    Finally, the rule provides for one motion to recommit, with 
or without instructions.
