   Mr. Quillen, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 259]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 259, 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. 2539, 
the ``ICC Termination Act of 1995'' 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 Transportation and Infrastructure.
    The rule waives section 302(f) (prohibiting consideration 
of legislation providing new entitlement authority in excess of 
a committee's allocation) 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 and shall be 
considered as read.
    The rule also waives section 302(f) 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.
    The rule also provides for the consideration of the 
(manager's) amendment to be printed in the Congressional 
Record, which is considered as read, not subject to amendment 
or to a division of the question, and is debatable for 10 
minutes equally divided between the proponent and an opponent. 
If adopted, the amendment is considered as part of the base 
text for further amendment purposes.
    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.
