            Ms. Pryce of Ohio, from the Committee on Rules,
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 475]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 475, 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. 4687, 
the National Construction Safety Team Act, 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 Science.
    The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on Science 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 provides that the bill shall be considered for 
amendment by section.
    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. The 
rule provides one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
    The waiver of all points of order against the committee 
amendment in the nature of a substitute is needed because a 
provision contained on line 6 of page 11, violates clause 4 of 
rule XXI (prohibiting appropriations in legislative bills).
