  Mr. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, from the Committee on Rules, submitted the 
                               following

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 327]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 327, 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. 2800, the 
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2004, 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.
    Under the rules of the House the bill shall be read for 
amendment by paragraph. The rule waives points of order against 
provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of 
rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized appropriations or 
legislative provisions in an appropriations bill), except as 
specified in the resolution. The rule authorizes the Chair to 
accord priority in recognition to Members who have pre-printed 
their amendments in the Congressional Record.
    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(c) or rule XIII 
(requiring the three-day availability of printed hearings on a 
general appropriation bill). The waiver of all points of order 
against provisions in the bill includes a waiver of clause 2 of 
rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized appropriations or 
legislative provisions in an appropriations bill), because 
there are numerous legislative provisions included in the bill.
