                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 609]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 609, by a nonrecord vote, report the same to 
the House with the recommendation that the resolution be 
adopted.

                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 4828, 
the Steens Mountain Wilderness Act of 2000, 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 Resources.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the bill. The rule makes in order as an original bill for 
the purpose of amendment the Walden amendment in the nature of 
a substitute printed in the Congressional Record and numbered 
1, which shall be open for amendment at any point.
    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. 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. 
Finally, the rule provides for one motion to recommit, with or 
without instructions.
