R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 896] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 896, by a record vote of 9 to 4, 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. Res. 895, supporting intelligence and law enforcement programs to track terrorists and terrorist finances conducted consistent with Federal law 

and with appropriate Congressional consultation and specifically 

condemning the disclosure and publication of classified information 

that impairs the international fight against terrorism and needlessly exposes Americans to the threat of further terror attacks by 

revealing a crucial method by which terrorists are traced through 

their finances, under a closed rule. The rule provides one hour of 

debate in the House equally divided and controlled by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on Financial 

Services. The rule waives all points of order against consideration 

of the resolution. 

Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit which may not 

contain instructions.
