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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 337]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 337, 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. 3010, 
Departments of the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education 
and other Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 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.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes a waiver of clause 4 of rule XIII 
(availability of reports and printed hearings from the 
Committee on Appropriations).
    The waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting 
unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an 
appropriations bill) against provisions in the bill is 
necessary, because there are numerous unauthorized 
appropriations and legislative provisions in the bill.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES

    Pursuant to clause 3(b) of House rule XIII the results of
