                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 801]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 801, by a record vote of 10 to 0 (with one 
Member voting Present), 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. 3688, the 
``United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement Implementation 
Act,'' under a closed rule providing three hours of debate, 
with 45 minutes in favor of the bill controlled by 
Representative Rangel of New York or his designee, 45 minutes 
in favor of the bill controlled by Representative McCrery of 
Louisiana or his designee, 45 minutes in opposition to the bill 
controlled by Representative Michaud of Maine or his designee, 
and 45 minutes in opposition to the bill controlled by the 
Minority Leader or his designee.
    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 bill shall 
be considered as read. The resolution waives all points of 
order against the bill. This waiver does not affect the point 
of order available under clause 9 of rule XXI (regarding 
earmark disclosure). The resolution provides that pursuant to 
section 151(f)(2) of the Trade Act of 1974, the previous 
question shall be considered as ordered on the bill to final 
passage without intervening motion. 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

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill (except those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule 
XXI) includes a waiver of clause 4(a) of rule XIII (regarding 
availability of committee report). Although the rule waives all 
points of order against the bill, the Committee is not aware of 
any points of order against the bill. The waiver of all points 
of order against the bill is prophylactic in nature.
