[To accompany H. Res. 327]

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 327, 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. 2800, the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2004, 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. 

Under the rules of the House the bill shall be read for amendment by paragraph. The rule waives points of order against provisions in the bill for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized appropriations or legislative provisions in an 

appropriations bill), except as specified in the resolution. The rule 

authorizes the Chair to accord priority in recognition to Members 

who have pre-printed 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(c) or rule XIII (requiring the threeday availability of printed hearings on a general appropriation bill). 

The waiver of all points of order against provisions in the bill includes a waiver of clause 2 of rule XXI (prohibiting unauthorized 

appropriations or legislative provisions in an appropriations bill), 

2

because there are numerous legislative provisions included in the 

bill.
