                       [To accompany H. Res. 312]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 312, 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. 2910, 
the ``National Transportation Safety Board Amendments 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 Transportation and 
Infrastructure.
    The rule makes in order the Committee on Transportation 
amendment in the nature of a substitute as an original bill for 
the purpose of amendment, modified by the amendment printed in 
this report. The bill will be open for amendment by section.
    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.

       summary of amendment considered as adopted under the rule

document fees may be spent by the NTSB as allowed by an
