                       [To accompany H. Res. 271]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 271, 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. 987, 
the ``Workplace Preservation 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 Education and the Workforce.
    The rule provides that the bill shall be open for amendment 
at any point and limits the amendment process to two hours. 
Members who have preprinted their amendments in the Record 
prior to their consideration will be given priority in 
recognition to offer their amendments if otherwise consistent 
with House rules. 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 for one motion to recommit, with or without 
instructions.
