                       [To accompany H. Res. 258]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 258, 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. 1074, 
the ``Regulatory Right-to-Know Act,'' under a modified 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 provides that it shall be in order to consider as 
an original bill for the purpose of amendment under the five 
minute rule the amendment in the nature of a substitute 
recommended by the Committee on Government Reform now printed 
in the bill. The rule further provides that the amendment in 
the nature of a substitute shall be open for amendment at any 
point.
    The rule provides for the consideration of only those 
amendments preprinted in the Congressional Record, which may be 
offered only by the Member who caused it to be printed or his 
designee, and pro forma amendments offered for the purpose of 
debate. The rule allows the Chairman of the Committee of the 
Whole to postpone votes during consideration of the bill, and 
to reduce voting time 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.
