                       [To accompany H. Res. 258]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 258, 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 rule provides for consideration of H.R. 629, the 
``Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Consent 
Act'' under an open rule. The rule provides for one hour of 
general debate equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Commerce.
    The rule permits the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole 
to accord priority in recognition to those Members who have 
pre-printed their amendments in the Congressional Record prior 
to their consideration. The rule further allows the Chairman of 
the Committee of the Whole to postpone recorded votes and to 
reduce to five minutes the voting time on any postponed 
question, provided the voting time on the first in any series 
of questions is not less than 15 minutes.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit, with or 
without instructions.
