                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 510]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 510, 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. 4328, 
the ``Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill 
for Fiscal Year 1999'' 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 Appropriations.
    The rule waives clause 7 of rule XXI (relating to the 3 day 
availability of printed hearings) and section 401(a) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (prohibiting consideration of 
legislation containing contract authority not previously 
subject to appropriations) against consideration of the bill.
    The rule provides that the amendments printed in this 
report shall be considered as adopted in the House and in the 
Committee of the Whole.
    The rule also waives clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting 
unauthorized and legislative provisions in a general 
appropriations bill) and clause 6 of rule XXI (prohibiting 
reappropriations in a general appropriations bill) against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, except as otherwise 
specified in the rule.
    The rule allows for the Chairman of the Committee of the 
Whole to postpone votes during consideration of the bill, and 
to reduce votes to five minutes on a postponed question if the 
vote follows a fifteen minute vote.
    The rule authorizes the Chair to accord priority in 
recognition to Members who have preprinted their amendments in 
the Congressional Record. Finally, the rule provides one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions.

       Summary of Amendments Considered as Adopted Under the Rule

    Fowler: Conveys property of the Coast Guard to Jacksonville 
University.
    Sections 345 and 346. Both sections amend TEA-21, but these
