                SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION

    The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 1815, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006, under 
a structured rule. The rule provides one hour of general debate 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Armed Services. The rule 
waives all points of order against consideration of the bill.
    The rule provides that the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute recommended by the Committee on Armed Services now 
printed in the bill shall be considered as an original bill for 
the purpose of amendment and shall be considered as read. The 
rule waives all points of order against the amendment in the 
nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on Armed 
Services.
    The rule makes in order only those amendments printed in 
this report and amendments en bloc as described in section 3 of 
the resolution. The rule provides that amendments will be 
considered only in the order specified in this report (except 
as specified in section 4 of the resolution), may be offered 
only by a Member designated in this report, shall be debatable 
for the time specified in this report, shall not be subject to 
amendment (except that the chairman and ranking minority member 
of the Committee on Armed Services each may offer one pro forma 
amendment for the purpose of further debate on any pending 
amendment), shall be considered as read, and shall not be 
subject to a demand for division of the question. The rule 
waives all points of order against amendments printed in this 
report.
    The rule allows the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole 
to recognize for the consideration of any amendment printed in 
this report out of the order printed, but not sooner than one 
hour after the chairman of the Committee on Armed Services or a 
designee announces from the floor a request to that effect.
    The rule authorizes the Chairman of the Committee on Armed 
Services, or his designee, to offer amendments en bloc 
consisting of amendments printed in this report not earlier 
disposed of, which shall be considered as read, shall be 
debatable for 40 minutes equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Armed 
Services or their designees, and shall not be subject to 
amendment or demand for a division of the question in the House 
or the Committee of the Whole.
    The rule provides that during consideration of the bill 
under this resolution or by a subsequent order of the House 
that after a motion that the Committee rise or after a motion 
to strike out the enacting words of the bill (as described in 
clause 9 of rule XVIII) has been rejected on a legislative day, 
the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole may entertain 
another such motion on that day only if offered by the chairman 
of the Committee on Armed Services or the Majority Leader.
    Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order includes a waiver of 
clause 4 of Rule XXI, prohibiting appropriations on legislative 
bills; and a waiver of section 303 of the Congressional Budget 
Act, prohibiting consideration of legislation, as reported, 
providing new budget authority, change in revenues, change in 
public debt, new entitlement authority, or new credit authority

  At the end of title V (page 194, after line 11), insert the 
following new section:

SEC. 6XX. SENSE OF CONGRESS THAT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES GIVE EQUAL 
                    ACCESS TO MILITARY RECRUITERS AND ROTC IN 
                    ACCORDANCE WITH THE SOLOMON AMENDMENT AND 
                    REQUIREMENT FOR REPORT TO CONGRESS.

  (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
          (1) The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program 
        is the most common means for undergraduates to become 
        United States military officers, producing 60 percent 
        of all officers in the Armed Forces and 75 percent of 
        Army officers.
          (2) The ROTC program is officially banned from many 
        leading universities and, although students at those 
        institutions can participate in ROTC programs at other 
        colleges, they often have to travel significant 
        distances to do so.
          (3) The United States is engaged in a global war on 
        terrorism, and it is thus more important than ever for 
        the Armed Forces to recruit high quality and well-
        qualified personnel.
          (4) Recruiting on university campuses is one of the 
        primary means of obtaining new, highly qualified 
        personnel for the Armed Forces and is an integral, 
        effective, and necessary part of overall military 
        recruitment.
          (5) In 1996, Congress enacted a provision of law that 
        has become known as the ``Solomon Amendment'' that 
        provides for the Secretary of Defense to deny Federal 
        funding to colleges and universities if they prohibit 
        or prevent ROTC or military recruitment on campus.
          (6) A group of university law schools have challenged 
        the constitutionality of the Solomon Amendment, and the 
        Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case in the term 
        beginning in October 2005.
  (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
          (1) any college or university that discriminates 
        against ROTC programs or military recruiters should be 
        denied certain Federal taxpayer support, especially 
        funding for many military and defense programs; and
          (2) universities and colleges that receive Federal 
        funds should provide military recruiters access to 
        college campuses and to college students equal in 
        quality and scope to that provided all other employers.
  (c) Report Required.--Not later than one year after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
submit to Congress a report on the colleges and universities 
that are denying equal access to military recruiters and ROTC 
programs.
