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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 269]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 269, by a record vote of 7 to 4 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. 835, the 
Hawaiian Homeownership Opportunity Act of 2007, under a closed 
rule. The resolution provides one hour of general debate in the 
House equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on Financial Services. 
The resolution waives all points of order against the bill and 
against its consideration (except for clauses 9 and 10 of rule 
XXI) and provides that the bill shall be considered as read. 
Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions. 

                        EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS 

    Although the rule waives all points of order against the 
bill and against its 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.
