    The resolution provides for the consideration of H.R. 2500, 
Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 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 provides that the bill shall be 
considered for amendment by paragraph. The rule waives clause 2 
of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized or legislative provisions 
in an appropriations bill) against provisions in the bill, 
except as otherwise specified in the rule.
    The rule authorizes 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.
