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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 546]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 546, 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. 3752, 
Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004, 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 Science.
    The rule waives points of order against consideration of 
the bill for failure to comply with clause 4(a) of rule XIII 
(requiring a three-day layover of the committee report). The 
rule provides that the bill shall be considered for amendment 
under the five-minute rule and that it shall be considered as 
read.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments to the bill 
that are pre-printed in the Congressional Record or are pro 
forma amendments for the purpose of debate. The rule provides 
that each amendment printed in the Congressional Record may be 
offered only by the Member who caused it to be printed or a 
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 clause 4(a) of rule XIII (requiring a three-
day layover of the committee report) is necessary because the 
committee report was not filed until Monday, March 1, 2004, and 
the bill may be considered as early as Wednesday, March 3, 
2004.
