                       [To accompany H. Res. 342]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 342, 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. 1987, 
the Fair Access to Indemnity and Reimbursement 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 makes in order the Committee on Education and the 
Workforce amendment in the nature of a substitute now printed 
in the bill as an original bill for the purpose of amendment, 
which shall be open for amendment at any point.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
the Congressional Record and pro forma amendments for the 
purpose of debate. Each amendment printed in the Congressional 
Record may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be 
printed or his designee and shall be considered as read.
    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.
