                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 187]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 187, by a nonrecord 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. 1853, 
the ``Carl D. Perkins Vocational-Technical Education Act 
Amendments of 1997'' 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 Education and the 
Workforce.
    The rule waives clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI (relating to the 
3 day availability of the report) against consideration of the 
bill.
    The rule makes in order the Committee on Education and the 
Workforce amendment in the nature of a substitute as an 
original bill for the purpose of amendment, and provides that 
the bill shall be open to amendment at any point, and that each 
section shall be considered as read.
    Members who have pre-printed their amendments in the 
Congressional 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.
