               brief summary of provisions of resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 842, 
the ``Truth in Budgeting Act'' under an open rule. The rule 
provides two hours of general debate divided equally between 
the chairmen and ranking minority members of the Committees on 
Transportation and Infrastructure and the Budget.
    The rule makes in order the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure amendment in the nature of a substitute now 
printed in the bill as an original bill for the purpose of 
amendment. The rule also provides that each section of the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be 
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 House rules. Finally, the rule provides for one motion to 
recommit, with or without instructions.
