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.
