R E P O R T 

[To accompany H. Res. 908] 

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House 

Resolution 908, 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. 2781, ‘‘To 

amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate segments of the 

Molalla River in Oregon, as components of the National Wild and 

Scenic Rivers System, and for other purposes,’’ under a closed rule 

providing one hour of general debate equally divided and controlled 

by the chair and ranking minority member of the Committee on 

Natural Resources. The resolution waives all points of order 

against consideration of the bill except those arising under clause 

9 or 10 of rule XXI. The resolution provides that the amendment 

in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on 

Natural Resources now printed in the bill shall be considered as 

adopted. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the bill, as 

amended. This waiver does not affect the point of order available 

under clause 9 of rule XXI (regarding earmark disclosure). Finally, 

the resolution provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. 

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill 

(except for clauses 9 and 10 of rule XXI) includes a waiver of clause 

4(a) of rule XIII, requiring a three-day layover of the committee report.

Although the rule waives all points of order against provisions in 

the bill, as amended, the Committee is not aware of any points of 

order. The waiver is prophylactic.
