                              R E P O R T

                      [To accompany H. Res. 1372]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 1372, by a record vote of 9 to 3, 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. 8873, the 
Presidential Election Reform Act, under a closed rule. The 
resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided and 
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on House Administration or their designees. The 
resolution waives all points of order against consideration of 
the bill. The resolution provides that the bill shall be 
considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order 
against provisions in the bill. The resolution provides one 
motion to recommit.

                         EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes waivers of the following:
    --Clause 11 of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 
bill or joint resolution which has not been reported by a 
committee until such measure has been available to Members, 
Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner for 72 hours.
    --Clause 12 of rule XXI, which prohibits consideration of a 
bill pursuant to a special order of business reported by the 
Committee on Rules that has not been reported by a committee.
    Although the rule waives all points of order against 
provisions in the bill, the Committee is not aware of any 
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
