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.
