Mr. Hastings of Washington, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 174]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 174, 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 consideration of H.R. 2217, the 
Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 2002, under an open rule. The rule provides one hour of 
general debate equally divided and controlled by the chairman 
and ranking minority member of the Committee on Appropriations.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the bill. The rule further waives points of order against 
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of 
rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized or legislative provisions in 
an appropriations bill), except as specified in the rule.
    The rule provides that the bill shall be considered for 
amendment by paragraph. The rule waives points of order during 
consideration of the bill against amendments for failure to 
comply with clause 2(e) of rule XXI (prohibiting nonemergency 
designated amendments to be offered to an appropriations bill 
containing an emergency designation). The rule allows the 
Chairman of the Committee of the Whole to accord priority in 
recognition to Members who have preprinted their amendments in 
the Congressional Record. Finally, the rule provides one motion 
to recommit with or without instructions.
