adopted.

               Brief Summary of Provisions of Resolution

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 1544, 
the ``Federal Agency Compliance Act'' 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 makes in order the Committee on the Judiciary 
amendment in the nature of a substitute as an original bill for 
purpose of amendment which shall be considered as read.
    The rule also allows for the Chairman of the Committee of 
the Whole to postpone votes during consideration of the bill, 
and to reduce voting time to five minutes on a postponed 
question if the vote follows a fifteen minute vote.
    Members who have preprinted 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.
