                       [To accompany H. Res. 143]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 143, by a record vote of 11 to 0, report the 
same to the House with the recommendation that the resolution 
be adopted.

                  SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for the consideration of the 
Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 800, the Education 
Flexibility Partnership Act of 1999. The rule waives points of 
order against the conference report and against its 
consideration. The rule further provides that the conference 
report shall be considered as read.
    The waiver of all points of order includes a waiver of 
clause 8 of rule XXII (requiring a three-day layover of a 
conference report) because the conference report was not filed 
until Tuesday, April 20, but will be considered on the floor on 
Wednesday, April 21. Also, the waiver of all points of order 
includes a waiver of clause 9 of rule XXII (prohibiting matters 
not specifically committed to the conference from being 
included in the conference report). The conference committee 
adopted an amendment by Senator Jeffords to exempt rural school 
districts from the Department of Education's consortia program. 
This amendment was not within the scope of the conference, but 
it was adopted by the conference by voice vote.
