    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration

adopted.

               BRIEF SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 2578, 
``To Extend the Visa Waiver Pilot Program'' under a modified 
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 provides that no amendment to the bill will be in 
order unless printed in the Congressional Record. It allows 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. The rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
    Finally, the rule provides that after passage of the House 
bill, it will be in order to insert the House-passed language 
in the Senate bill number.
