Providing for the consideration of the resolution (H. Res. 997) enabling the House of Representatives to be responsive to its membership.

This is a procedural resolution — a "rule" — that sets the terms for the House to debate and vote on H. Res. 997, a resolution about enabling the House to be responsive to its membership. It provides for one hour of equally divided debate, allows an amendment from the ranking minority member of the Rules Committee, and waives certain procedural objections. Like other rules resolutions, it's a housekeeping measure that determines how a piece of legislation gets to the floor.
