                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 410]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 410, by a non-record 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. 1675, 
the ``National Wildlife Refuge Improvement Act of 1995'' under 
an open rule. The rule provides one hour of general debate 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Resources.
    The rule makes the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
by Rep. Young of Alaska printed in the Congressional Record on 
April 16, 1996 as amendment numbered 1 in order as an original 
bill for the purpose of amendment under the five-minute rule. 
The rule further provides that each section of the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute be considered as read, and waives 
points of order against the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute for failure to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI 
(germaneness).
    The rule accords priority in recognition to Members who 
have pre-printed their amendments in the Congressional Record. 
Amendments so printed shall be considered as read.
    Finally, the rule provides for one motion to recommit with 
or without instructions.
