R E P O R T

[To accompany H. Res. 465]

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 465, by a record vote of 9 to 3, 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 H.R. 7, the No
Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, under a closed rule. The
resolution provides one hour of debate equally divided among
and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the
Committee on the Judiciary, the chair and ranking minority
member of the Committee on Ways and Means, and the chair and
ranking minority member of the Committee on Energy and
Commerce. The resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of the bill. The resolution provides that an
amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of the text
of Rules Committee Print 113-33 shall be considered as adopted
and the bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. The
resolution waives all points of order against provisions in the
bill, as amended. The resolution provides one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
Section 2 of the resolution provides for consideration of
the conference report to accompany H.R. 2642, the Federal
Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013. The
resolution waives all points of order against the conference
report and against its consideration. The resolution provides
that the conference report shall be considered as read. The
resolution provides that the previous question shall be
considered as ordered without intervention of any motion except
one hour of debate and one motion to recommit if applicable.

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

Although the resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of H.R. 7, the Committee is not aware of any
points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
The waiver of all points of order against provisions in
H.R. 7, as amended, includes a waiver of clause 5(a) or rule
XXI, which prohibits a bill or joint resolution carrying a tax
or tariff measure from being reported by a committee not having
jurisdiction to report tax or tariff measures.
The waiver of all points of order against the conference
report to accompany H.R. 2642 and its consideration includes a
waiver of clause 9 of rule XXII, which prohibits the inclusion
of matter in a conference report not committed to the
conference by either House.
