                                _______


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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 262]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 262, 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 waives points of order against the 
conference report to accompany H.R. 2465, the ``Military 
Construction Appropriations Act, 2000'' and against its 
consideration. The rule further provides that the conference 
report shall be considered as read.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the conference report is necessary because the report is in 
violation of clause 8 of rule XXI (requiring a three day 
layover of any conference report). The waiver of points of 
order against the conference report is necessary because 
certain provisions in the report are in violation of clause 9 
of rule XXII (violating the scope of the conference), and 
section 131 of the report is in violation of clause 5 of rule 
XXI (prohibiting tax or tariff provisions in a bill not 
reported by a committee with jurisdiction over revenue 
measures).
