    PROVIDING FOR CONSIDERATION OF H.R. 2944, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

                                _______
                                

 September 24, 2001.--Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be 
                                printed

                                _______
                                

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

                              R E P O R T

                       [To accompany H. Res. 245]

    The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration 
House Resolution 245, 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. 2944, the 
District of Columbia Appropriations Act, 2002, under an open 
rule. The rule provides one hour of general debate equally 
divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority 
member of the Committee on Appropriations. The rule waives all 
points of order against consideration of the bill. The rule 
further waives clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized 
appropriations or legislative provisions in a general 
appropriations bill) against provisions in the bill.
    The rule provides that the bill shall be considered for 
amendment by paragraph. The rule provides that the amendments 
printed in part A of this report shall be considered as 
adopted. The rule also waives all points of order against the 
amendment printed in part B of this report, which may be 
offered only by a Member designated in this report and only at 
the appropriate point in the reading of the bill, shall be 
considered as read, shall be debatable for the time specified 
in this report equally divided and controlled by the proponent 
and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment and shall 
not be subject to a demand for division of the question in the 
House or in the Committee of the Whole.
    The rule allows the Chairman of the Committee of the Whole 
to accord priority in recognition to Members who have 
preprinted their amendments in the Congressional Record. 
Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or 
without instructions.
    The waiver of all points of order against consideration of 
the bill includes a waiver of clause 4 of rule XIII (requiring 
a three-day layover of the committee report) because the report 
was not filed until Monday, September 24, and the bill may be 
considered on the floor as early as Tuesday, September 25. The 
waiver also includes a waiver of section 306 of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (prohibiting consideration of 
legislation within the Budget Committee's jurisdiction, unless 
reported by the Budget Committee), because the bill includes a 
provision that falls within the jurisdiction of the Budget 
Committee that has not reported by that committee.
    The waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI against provisions in 
the bill is necessary because there are several unauthorized 
appropriations and legislative provisions in the bill, which 
are listed in the report accompanying the bill.
