    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 319, 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. 1495, 
which provides for the conservation and development of water 
and related resources, to authorize the Secretary of the Army 
to construct various projects for improvements to rivers and 
harbors of the United States. The resolution provides for one 
hour of general debate equally divided and controlled by the 
Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure.
    The resolution waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 9 
or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution makes in order the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure as the original bill for the 
purpose of further amendment. The resolution waives all points 
of order against the committee amendment except those arising 
under clauses 9 or 10 of rule XXI. The committee amendment 
shall be considered as an original bill and shall be considered 
as read.
    The resolution makes in order those amendments printed in 
this report and waives all points of order against such 
amendments except those arising under clauses 9 or 10 of rule 
XXI. The resolution provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions. Finally, during consideration of H.R. 
1495 in the House, notwithstanding the operation of the 
previous question, the Chair may postpone further consideration 
until a time designated by the Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against the 
bill's consideration (except for clauses 9 and 10 of rule XXI), 
the Committee is not aware of any specific points of order. The 
waiver of all points of order against the bill and against its 
consideration is prophylactic in nature.

           SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER UNDER THE RULE

    (Summaries derived from information provided by sponsors.)
    1. Oberstar (MN): Manager's Amendment. The manager's 
amendment authorizes and modifies several Corps of Engineers' 
projects and studies for flood control, navigation, and 
environmental restoration. (10 minutes)
    2. Boswell (IA): The amendment provides the Rathbun 
Regional Water Association with a right of first refusal to 
purchase water supply storage from the Corps of Engineers at 
Rathbun Lake, Iowa. (10 minutes)
    3. Rohrabacher (CA): The amendment permits ports to levy a 
fee on containers and use that fee to pay for security and 
infrastructure at the ports. (10 minutes)
    4. Stupak (MI): The amendment would ensure that all harbor 
maintenance is funded based on FY2004 standards, regardless of 
the amount of tonnage a harbor handles. Current U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers' policy excludes from the Corps' budget harbors 
that do not meet a minimum requirement for the amount of 
tonnage handled. (10 minutes)
    5. Blumenauer (OR)/Welch (VT): This amendment would strike 
section 2036 of the legislation and replace it with language 
directing the Secretary of the Army to update the principles 
and guidelines that the Army Corps of Engineers uses in the 
formulation, evaluation, and implementation of water resources 
projects. The amendment would require the Secretary to consult 
with other agencies and the public in developing the new 
principles and guidelines. (10 minutes)
    6. Kirk (IL):
    The amendment authorizes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
to carry out a small dam removal or rehabilitation project if 
it will improve the quality of the environment or is in the 
public interest. It requires a non-Federal cost-share of 35% 
for any construction and 100% for operation and maintenance. It 
authorizes $25,000,000 for this program with no more than 
$5,000,000 to be used for any one project. (10 minutes)
