    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 481, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House without recommendation.

               brief summary of provisions of resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 3820, 
the ``Campaign Finance Reform Act of 1996'' under a modified 
closed rule. The rule provides one hour of general debate 
divided equally between the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on House Oversight.
    The rule provides that no amendment will be in order except 
an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the 
text of H.R. 3505 (as modified by an amendment printed in this 
report), if offered by the Minority Leader or his designee.
    The rule also waives all points of order against the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute, as modified, and 
provides that it will be considered as read, will be debatable 
for one hour equally divided between the proponent and an 
opponent, and will not be subject to amendment.
    Finally, the rule provides for one motion to recommit, with 
or without instructions.
