                       [To accompany H. Res. 521]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 521, 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 in the House of 
H.R. 5193, the Back to School Tax Relief Act of 2002, under a 
closed rule. The rule provides one hour of debate in the House 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Ways and Means.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the bill. The rule provides that the amendment recommended 
by the Committee on Ways and Means now printed in the bill 
shall be considered as adopted.
    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 the committee report was not filed until 
Wednesday, September 11 and the bill may be considered by the 
House as early as Thursday, September 12.
