                       [To accompany H. Res. 44]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 44, 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. 437, 
the ``Presidential and Executive Office Financial 
Accountability Act of 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 
Government Reform.
    The rule also provides that the bill will be considered as 
read.
    Members who have pre-printed their amendments in the 
Congressional Record prior to their consideration will be given 
priority in recognition to offer their amendments if otherwise 
consistent with House rules. 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 for one motion to recommit, 
with or without instructions.
