House Resolution 199, 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. 2506, the 
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2002, 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 
Appropriations.
    The rule waives points of order against consideration of 
the bill for failure to comply with clause 4 of rule XIII 
(requiring a three-day layover of the committee report and 
requiring the three-day availability of printed hearings on a 
general appropriations bill). The rule also provides that the 
amendments printed in the Rules Committee report shall be 
considered as adopted in the House and in the Committee of the 
Whole.
    The rule further waives points of order against provisions 
in the bill, as amended, for failure to comply with clause 2 of 
rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized or legislative provisions in 
a general appropriations bill or prohibiting reappropriations 
in a general appropriations bill), except as specified in the 
rule.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
the Congressional Record and pro forma amendments for the 
purpose of debate. The rule further provides that each 
amendment printed in the Congressional Record may be offered 
only by the Member who caused it to be printed or his designee, 
and that each amendment shall be considered as read.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
