Bill Summary

Sets forth the rule for consideration of the bill (H.B. 3408) to set clear rules for the development of United States oil shale resources, to promote shale technology research and development, and for other purposes; providing for consideration of the bill (H.B. 3813) to amend title 5, United States Code, to secure the annuities of Federal civilian employees, and for other purposes; and providing for consideration of the bill (H.B. 7) to authorize funds for Federal-aid highway, public transportation, and highway and motor carrier safety programs.

AI Summary

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering three different bills in the House of Representatives. It outlines the process for debating and amending H.R. 3408, which aims to regulate the development of U.S. oil shale resources and promote related research; H.R. 3813, designed to protect the retirement annuities of federal civilian employees; and H.R. 7, which authorizes funding for federal highway, public transportation, and safety programs. For each bill, the Resolution specifies the amount of time for general debate, waives points of order against their consideration and specific provisions, and sets limits on further amendments, often allowing only those pre-selected by the Rules Committee. Notably, the Resolution also details a plan to combine the texts of H.R. 3408 and H.R. 3813 into H.R. 7, creating a single engrossed bill for final passage, with the original H.R. 3408 and H.R. 3813 then being laid on the table.
