    PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 1691, RELIGIOUS LIBERTY 
                             PROTECTION ACT

                                _______
                                

   July 13, 1999.--Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be 
                                printed

                                _______


   Mrs. Myrick, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 245]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 245, by a nonrecord vote, 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 H.R. 1691, 
the ``Religious Liberty Protection Act,'' under a structured 
rule. The rule provides one hour of debate divided equally 
between the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on the Judiciary.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the bill. The rule also makes in order an amendment in the 
nature of a substitute if printed in the Congressional Record, 
and if offered by Rep. Conyers or his designee, debatable for 
one hour equally divided between the proponent and an opponent. 
Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill is necessary because the Judiciary Committee's report 
(106-219) does not include a comparative print showing the 
changes in existing law as called for under clause 3(e) of 
House Rule XIII.
