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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 399]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 399, 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. 3, the Safe, Accountable, 
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for 
Users, and against its consideration. The resolution provides 
that the conference report shall be considered as read. The 
resolution also provides that the Clerk shall not transmit to 
the Senate a message that it has adopted the conference report 
to accompany H.R. 3 until the House has received a message that 
the Senate has agreed to House Concurrent Resolution 226 as 
adopted by the House or passed H.R. 3514 without amendment.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order is necessary because the 
conference report was filed with the House on Thursday, July 
28, 2005 and it may be considered by the House as early as 
Friday, July 29, 2005, which would violate clause 8 of rule 
XXII (requiring a three-day layover of conference reports and 
the accompanying joint explanatory statement).
