                       [To accompany H. Res. 392]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 392, 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 waives all points of order against the 
conference report to accompany H.R. 2361, Department of the 
Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 
for fiscal year 2006, and against its consideration. The 
resolution also provides that the conference report shall be 
considered as read.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order is necessary because the 
conference report was filed with the House on Wednesday, July 
27, 2005 and it may be considered by the House as early as 
Thursday, July 28, 2005, which would violate clause 8 of rule 
XXII (requiring a three-day layover of conference reports and 
the accompanying joint explanatory statement).
