                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1526]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1526, 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 allows the Speaker to entertain motions to 
suspend the rules through the legislative day of October 3, 
2008. The Speaker or her designee shall consult with the 
Minority Leader or his designee on the designation of any 
matter for consideration pursuant to this resolution. The 
resolution waives the requirement of clause 6(a) of rule XIII, 
requiring a two-thirds vote to consider a rule on the same day 
it is reported from the Rules Committee. This would allow for 
same day consideration of any resolution reported by the Rules 
Committee through the legislative day of October 3, 2008. The 
rule provides that House Resolution 1516 is laid upon the 
table.
