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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 472]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 472, 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. 4635, the 
Arming Pilots Against Terrorism Act, under a modified 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 Transportation and Infrastructure.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the bill. The rule provides that the amendment in the nature 
of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Transportation 
and Infrastructure now printed in the bill shall be considered 
as an original bill for the purpose of amendment. The rule 
waives all points of order against the committee amendment in 
the nature of a substitute.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments to the 
committee amendment that are printed in the Congressional 
Record or are 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.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes a waiver of clause 4(a) of rule XIII 
(requiring a three-day layover of the committee report), which 
is needed because H. Rept. 107-555, Part 1, was not filed by 
the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee until Monday, 
July 8, and the bill may be considered by the House as early as 
Wednesday, July 10. The waiver of all points of order against 
the committee amendment in the nature of a substitute includes 
a waiver of clause 7 of rule XVI (prohibiting nongermane 
amendments), which is needed because the committee amendment 
expanded training provisions to individuals other than pilots.
