               brief summary of provisions of resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 1162, 
the ``Deficit Reduction Lock-Box'' 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 Rules.
    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 Rules and provides that the 
amendment be considered as read and open to amendment at any 
point. The rule also waives clause 7 of rule XVI (prohibiting 
consideration of non-germane amendments) against consideration 
of the amendment in the nature of a substitute.
    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 House rules. Finally, the rule provides for one motion to 
recommit with or without instructions.
