                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 760]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 760, 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. 324, the 
Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area Act, under a closed 
rule. The resolution provides for one hour of debate equally 
divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member 
of the Committee on Natural Resources.
    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 amendment 
printed in this report shall be considered as adopted and 
provides that the bill, as amended, shall be considered as 
read. The resolution waives all points of order against 
provisions of the bill, as amended. This waiver does not affect 
the point of order available under clause 9 of rule XXI 
(regarding earmark disclosure). The resolution 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 those arising under 
clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI), and all points of order against 
provisions in the bill, as amended, the Committee is not aware 
of any points of order against the bill or its consideration. 
The waivers are prophylactic.
