                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 198]
    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 198, by a voice 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. 2076, 
the ``Commerce, Justice, State Appropriations Bill for the 
fiscal year 1996'' 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 Appropriations.
    The rule waives clause 2 (prohibiting unauthorized and 
legislative provisions) and clause 6 (prohibiting 
reappropriations) of rule XXI against provisions in the bill.
    The rule provides for the reading of the bill by title, 
rather than by paragraph or numbered section, for amendment, 
and each title is considered as read. Members who have 
preprinted their amendments in the Record prior to their 
consideration will be given priority in recognition to offer 
their amendments if otherwise consistent with the House rules.
    Finally, the rule provides for one motion to recommit, with 
or without instructions.
