    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 377, 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. 2369, 
the ``Wireless Privacy Enhancement Act of 1998'' 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 Commerce.
    The rule waives points of order against consideration of 
the bill for failure to comply with clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI 
(3 day availability of committee reports).
    The rule further makes in order the Committee on Commerce 
amendment in the nature of a substitute now printed in the bill 
as an original bill for the purpose of amendment and provides 
that each section shall be considered as read.
    The Chair is authorized to accord priority in recognition 
to Members who have preprinted their amendments in the 
Congressional Record.
    The rule 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. Finally, the rule 
provides for one motion to recommit, with or without 
instructions.
