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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 465]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 465, by a non-record 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. 65, the 
Lumbee Recognition Act, under a closed rule providing one hour 
of general debate in the House equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Natural Resources.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the bill except for clauses 9 and 10 of Rule XXI. The 
amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the 
Committee on Natural Resources now printed in the bill, 
modified by the amendment printed in this report, shall be 
considered as adopted. The rule waives all points of order 
against the bill, as amended, and provides that the bill, as 
amended, shall be considered as read. The rule provides one 
motion to recommit with or without instructions. Finally, the 
rule provides that the Chair may postpone further consideration 
of the bill to a time designated by the Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the bill and against the committee amendment 
in the nature of a substitute, as amended, (except for those 
arising under clauses 9 and 10 of Rule XXI), the Committee is 
not aware of any points of order. The waivers of all points of 
order are prophylactic in nature.
