EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS
The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.J. Res. 89 includes a waiver of:
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.
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 October 8, 2013 for printing in the
Congressional Record. The statement affirms that the joint
resolution does not contain any earmarks, limited tax benefits,
or limited tariff benefits under the meaning of the rule.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.J. Res. 89, 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. 3273 includes a waiver of:
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.
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 Rules submitted an earmark statement to the
House on October 8, 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.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.R. 3273, 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.J. Res. 90 may include a waiver of:
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.
If H.J. Res. 90 is considered before it is available for the
requisite number of calendar days, then the waiver of clause 11
of rule XXI would be applicable to that joint resolution.
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 October 8, 2013 for printing in the
Congressional Record. The statement affirms that the joint
resolution does not contain any earmarks, limited tax benefits,
or limited tariff benefits under the meaning of the rule. If
H.J. Res. 90 is considered before statement is printed in the
Congressional Record, then the waiver of clause 9(a)(2) would
be applicable to that joint resolution.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.J. Res. 90, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
