                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 150]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 150, 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. 1385, 
the ``Employment, Training, and Literacy Enhancement Act of 
1997'' 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 Education and the 
Workforce.
    The rule makes in order the Committee on Education and the 
Workforce amendment in the nature of a substitute as an 
original bill for purpose of amendment, which shall be 
considered by division rather than by section and each division 
shall be considered as read.
    The rule waives clause 5(a) of rule XXI (appropriating on a 
legislative bill) against the committee amendment in the nature 
of a substitute.
    The rule also provides for the consideration of the 
(manager's) amendment numbered 1 printed in the Congressional 
Record if offered by Representative McKeon or his designee, 
which is considered as read, not subject to amendment or to a 
division of the question, and is debatable for 10 minutes 
equally divided between the proponent and an opponent. If 
adopted, the amendment is considered as part of the base text 
for further amendment purposes.
    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.
