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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 715]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 715, 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. 4818, the 
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Act, 2005, 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) of rule XIII 
(requiring the three-day availability of printed hearings on a 
general appropriation bill). The waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI 
(prohibiting unauthorized appropriations or legislative 
provisions in an appropriation bill) is needed because there 
are numerous legislative provisions included in the bill.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES
