                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1721]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1721, 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 the consideration of the Senate 
amendment to H.R. 1722, the Telework Improvements Act of 2010. 
The resolution makes in order a motion offered by the chair of 
the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that the House 
concur in the Senate amendment to H.R. 1722. The resolution 
provides one hour of debate on the motion equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The resolution 
waives all points of order against consideration of the motion 
except those arising under clause 10 of rule XXI. The 
resolution provides that the Senate amendment shall be 
considered as read. Finally, the resolution authorizes the 
Speaker to entertain motions that the House suspend the rules 
at any time through the legislative day of November 19, 2010. 
The Speaker or her designee shall consult with the Minority 
Leader or his designee on the designation of any matter for 
consideration under suspension of the rules pursuant to this 
resolution.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
consideration of the motion (except those arising under clause 
10 of rule XXI) the Committee is not aware of any points of 
order against the motion. The waiver of all points of order 
against the motion is prophylactic.
