                       [To accompany H. Res. 378]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 378, 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. 3130, 
the ``Child Support Performance and Incentive Act of 1998'' 
under a modified open rule. The rule waives points of order 
against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with 
section 303(a) of the Congressional Budget Act (prohibiting 
consideration of legislation, as reported, providing new budget 
authority, changes in revenues, or changes in the public debt 
for a fiscal year until the budget resolution for that year has 
been agreed to). The rule provides one hour of general debate 
divided equally between the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Ways and Means.
    The rule makes in order the Ways and Means Committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute now printed in the bill 
as an original bill for the purpose of amendment and provides 
that it shall be considered as read. The rule waives points of 
order against the committee amendment in the nature of a 
substitute for failure to comply with section 303(a) of the 
Congressional Budget Act.
    The rule provides that no amendment shall be in order 
unless printed in the Congressional Record. The rule also 
waives points of order against the amendment by Mr. Cardin 
printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 2 for failure 
to comply with clause 7 of rule XVI (prohibiting nongermane 
amendments).
    The rule allows for the Chairman of the Committee of the 
Whole to postpone votes during consideration of the bill, and 
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.
