               brief summary of provisions of resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 3120, 
``To Amend Title 18, United States Code, With Respect to 
Witness Retaliation, Witness Tampering and Jury Tampering'' 
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 the Judiciary.
    The rule waives clause 7 of rule XIII, which is the 
requirement for a cost estimate in the committee report, 
against consideration of the bill. The rule makes in order as 
an original bill for the purpose of amendment, the Judiciary 
Committee amendment in the nature of a substitute, which will 
be considered as read.
    Members who have pre-printed 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.
