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

                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1299]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1299, 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. 3195, the 
``ADA Restoration Act of 2007,'' under a closed rule. The rule 
provides one hour of debate in the House, with 40 minutes 
equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Education and Labor and 20 
minutes equally divided and controlled by the chairman and 
ranking minority member of the Committee on the Judiciary. The 
rule waives all points of order against consideration of the 
bill except clauses 9 and 10 of rule XXI. The rule provides 
that the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by 
the Committee on Education and Labor now printed in the bill 
shall be considered as adopted and the bill, as amended, shall 
be considered as read. All points of order against provisions 
of the bill, as amended, are waived. This waiver does not 
affect the point of order available under clause 9 of rule XXI 
(regarding earmark disclosure).
    The rule provides one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions. The rule provides that, notwithstanding the 
operation of the previous question, the Chair may postpone 
further consideration of the bill to a time designated by the 
Speaker.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill (except for clauses 9 and 10 of rule XXI) includes a 
waiver of clause 4 of rule XIII, requiring a three-day layover 
of the committee report. Although the rule waives all points of 
order against the provisions of the bill, as amended, the 
Committee is not aware of any points of order. The waiver of 
all points of order is prophylactic.
