House Resolution 128, 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. 1275, 
the ``Civilian Space Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1998 and 
1999'' under an open rule. The rule provides one hour of 
general debate equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Science.
    The rule waives clause 2(l)(6) of rule XI (three-day 
availability for committee reports) against consideration of 
the bill.
    The rule also makes in order the Committee on Science 
amendment in the nature of a substitute as an original bill for 
the purpose of amendment. It further provides that the 
committee amendment in the nature of a substitute be considered 
by title, with each title being considered as read.
    Members who have preprinted their amendments in the Record 
prior to their consideration will be given priority in 
recognition to offer their amendments if otherwise consistent 
with House rules. Finally, the rule provides for one motion to 
recommit, with or without instructions.
