Mr. Hastings of Washington, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 576]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 576, 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. 4259, 
the ``Haskell Indian Nations University and Southwestern Indian 
Polytechnic Institute Administrative Systems Act 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 all points of order against consideration 
of the bill. H.R. 4259 required a waiver of clause 2(l)(2)(B) 
of rule XI which requires the inclusion in the report of any 
rollcall votes on a motion to report or on any amendment to a 
bill reported from committee. The rule provides that the bill 
shall be considered by section and each section shall be 
considered as read.
    The rule authorizes the Chair to accord priority in 
recognition to Members who have preprinted their amendments in 
the Congressional Record. Also, 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. Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
