Mr. Pryce of Ohio, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 368]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 368, 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. 2460, 
the ``Wireless Telephone Protection 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 waives clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI (requiring a 
three-day layover of the committee report). It makes in order 
the Judiciary Committee amendment in the nature of a substitute 
as an original bill for the purpose of amendment, each section 
of which will be considered as read.
    Members who have pre-printed 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. The rule allows 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.
    The rule provides for one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions. Finally, it provides that after passage 
of the House bill, it will be in order to move to insert the 
House passed language in the Senate bill number.
