                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 386]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 386, 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 in the House 
of House Joint Resolution 165, making further continuing 
appropriations for fiscal year 1996. The rule provides for one 
hour of debate equally divided between the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Appropriations Committee. The rule 
orders the previous question to final passage without 
intervening motion except one motion to recommit which, if 
containing instructions, may only be offered by the Minority 
Leader or his designee.
    Section 2 of the rule waives clause 4(b) of rule XI, 
requiring a two-thirds vote to consider a rule on the same day 
it is reported from the Committee on Rules, against certain 
resolutions reported by the Rules Committee before April 1, 
1996. The rule applies the waiver to special rules providing 
for consideration or disposition of any measures, amendments 
thereto, conference reports thereon, or amendments reported in 
disagreement from a conference that: (1) make general 
appropriations for the fiscal year 1996; (2) include provisions 
making further continuing appropriations for fiscal year 1996; 
or (3) include provisions increasing or waiving the public debt 
limit.
