                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 215]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 215, 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. 700, the 
Healthy Communities Water Supply Act of 2007, under an open 
rule with a preprinting requirement. The rule provides one hour 
of general debate equally divided and controlled by the 
chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on 
Transportation and Infrastructure.
    The rule waives all points of order against consideration 
of the bill except those arising under clauses 9 and 10 of rule 
XXI. The rule provides that the bill shall be considered as 
read. The rule provides that notwithstanding clause 11 of rule 
XVIII, no amendment to the bill shall be in order except those 
printed in the portion of the Congressional Record designated 
for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII and except pro forma 
amendments for the purpose of debate. Each amendment so printed 
may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be printed 
or his designee and shall be considered as read. The rule 
provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

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