                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 579]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 579, by a record vote of 7-3, 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. 2831, the 
``Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2007,'' under a closed rule. 
The resolution provides for one hour of debate equally divided 
and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of 
the Committee on Education and Labor.
    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 provides that the amendment 
in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on 
Education and Labor shall be considered as adopted and the 
bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution 
waives all points of order against provisions in the bill, as 
amended. The resolution provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions. Finally, the resolution permits the 
Chair, during consideration of the bill, to postpone further 
consideration of it to a time designated by the Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against the 
bill and its consideration (except for those arising under 
clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI), the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order against the bill or its consideration. The 
waivers of all points of order against the bill and its 
consideration are prophylactic in nature.
