Res. 546] The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration House Resolution 546, 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 the consideration of H.R. 3752, Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004, under a modified 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 Science. The rule waives points of order against consideration of the bill for failure to comply with clause 4(a) of rule XIII (requiring a three-day layover of the committee report). The rule provides that the bill shall be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule and that it shall be considered as read. The rule makes in order only those amendments to the bill that are pre-printed in the Congressional Record or are pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate. The rule provides that each amendment printed in the Congressional Record may be offered only by the Member who caused it to be printed or a designee, and that each amendment shall be considered as read. Finally, the rule provides one motion to recommit with or without instructions. The waiver of clause 4(a) of rule XIII (requiring a three- day layover of the committee report) is necessary because the committee report was not filed until Monday, March 1, 2004, and the bill may be considered as early as Wednesday, March 3, 2004.
