                       [To accompany H. Res. 180]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 180, 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. 858, 
the ``Quincy Library Group Forest Recovery and Economic 
Stability Act of 1997,'' 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 
Resources.
    The rule provides, in lieu of the Resources Committee 
amendment, that the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 1 shall be 
considered as an original bill for the purpose of amendment and 
that the amendment be considered as read. The rule also waives 
clause 7 of rule XVI (germaneness) and clause 5(a) of rule XXI 
(appropriating in a legislative bill) against the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute printed in the Congressional Record.
    The rule provides for an amendment offered by 
Representative Miller (CA) or his designee printed in the 
Congressional Record. The amendment offered by Representative 
Miller (CA) or his designee shall be considered as read, shall 
be debatable for one hour equally divided between a proponent 
and opponent, and shall not be subject to amendment.
    Finally the rule provides one motion to recommit, with or 
without instructions.
