                Mr. Goss, from the Committee on Rules, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 474]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 474, 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 all points of order against the 
conference report to accompany House Concurrent Resolution 290, 
the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2001, 
and against its consideration. The rule provides that the 
conference report shall be considered as read. The rule further 
provides one hour of debate on the conference report, equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on the Budget.
    The blanket waiver includes a waiver of clause 4(a) of Rule 
XIII (requiring a three-day layover of the committee report). 
The conference report was filed on Wednesday, April 12, and is 
scheduled for consideration on the floor as early as Thursday, 
April 13. The blanket waiver also includes a waiver of clause 9 
of Rule XXII (violating the scope of the conference) because 
the conference report contains provisions which were not 
contained in either the House or Senate versions of the 
concurrent resolution.
