Mr. Sessions, from the Committee on Rules,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H. Res. 366]
The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 366, by a 8 to 4 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 the Senate
amendment to H.J. Res. 59. The resolution makes in order a
motion offered by the chair of the Committee on Appropriations
or his designee that the House concur in the Senate amendment
to H.J. Res. 59 with each of the two amendments printed in this
report. The resolution provides one hour of debate on the
motion equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking
minority member of the Committee on Appropriations. The
resolution provides that the Senate amendment and the motion
shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all points
of order against consideration of the motion. The resolution
provides that the question of adoption of the motion shall be
divided between the two House amendments.
Section 2 of the resolution provides for consideration of
H.R. 3210, the Pay our Military Act, under a closed rule. The
resolution provides 40 minutes of debate equally divided and
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Appropriations. The resolution waives all points
of order against consideration of the bill and provides that it
shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all points
of order against provisions in the bill. The resolution
provides one motion to recommit.
EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of the motion, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 3210 includes a waiver of the following:
Clause 9(a)(2) of rule XXI, which prohibits
consideration of a bill or joint resolution not reported by a
committee, unless the chair of each committee of initial
referral has caused a list of congressional earmarks, limited
tax benefits, and limited tariff benefits in the bill or a
statement that the proposition contains no congressional
earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits to
be printed in the Congressional Record prior to its
consideration. However, it is important to note that the chair
of the Committee on Appropriations submitted an earmark
statement to the House on September 28, 2013 for printing in
the Congressional Record. The statement affirms that the bill
does not contain any earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited
tariff benefits under the meaning of the rule.
Clause 11 of rule XXI, prohibiting the
consideration of a bill or joint resolution which has not been
reported by a committee until the third calendar day (excluding
Saturdays, Sundays, or legal holidays except when the House is
in session on such a day) on which such measure has been
available to Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.R. 3210, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
