                       [To accompany H. Res. 384]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 384, 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 resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 2883, 
the ``Government Performance and Results Act Technical 
Amendments 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 Government Reform 
and Oversight.
    The rule waives points of order against consideration of 
the bill for failure to comply with clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI 
(requiring a three-day layover of the committee report). The 
rule makes in order as an original bill for the purpose of 
amendment the Government Reform and Oversight Committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute, which will be 
considered as read.
    Members who have pre-printed their amendments in the 
Congressional 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 the voting time to 
five minutes on a postponed question if the vote follows a 
fifteen minute vote. Finally, the rule provides one motion to 
recommit with or without instructions.
