submitted the following

R E P O R T

[To accompany H. Res. 315]

The Committee on Rules, having had under consideration
House Resolution 315, by a 7 to 3 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 H.R. 2596, the
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, under a
structured rule. The resolution provides one hour of general
debate equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking
minority member of the Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence. The resolution waives all points of order against
consideration of the bill. The resolution makes in order as
original text for purpose of amendment an amendment in the
nature of a substitute consisting of the text of Rules
Committee Print 114-19 and provides that it shall be considered
as read. The resolution waives all points of order against that
amendment in the nature of a substitute. The resolution makes
in order only those further amendments printed in this report.
Each such amendment may be offered only in the order printed in
this report, may be offered only by a Member designated in this
report, shall be considered as read, shall be debatable for the
time specified in this report equally divided and controlled by
the proponent and an opponent, shall not be subject to
amendment, and shall not be subject to a demand for division of
the question in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. The
resolution waives all points of order against the amendments
printed in this report. The resolution provides one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
Section 2 of the resolution provides that the motion to
reconsider the vote on the question of concurring in the matter
comprising the remainder of title II of the Senate amendment to
H.R. 1314 may continue to be postponed through the legislative
day of Thursday, July 30, 2015.

EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
the bill includes a waiver of clause 3(e)(1) of rule XIII
(``Ramseyer''), requiring a committee report accompanying a
bill amending or repealing statutes to show, by typographical
device, parts of statute affected. The waiver is provided
because the submission provided by the committee was
insufficient to meet the standards established by the rule in
its current form. The Committee on Rules continues to work with
the House Office of Legislative Counsel and committees to
determine the steps necessary to comply with the updated rule.
The waiver of all points of order against the amendment in
the nature of a substitute made in order as original text
includes a waiver of clause 7 of rule XVI, which requires that
no motion or proposition on a subject different from that under
consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment. It is
important to note that the provisions that make this waiver
necessary were contained in the bill as reported by the
Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
the amendments printed in this report, the Committee is not
aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in
nature.
It is important to note that the estimate provided by the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to the Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence and the Committee on the Budget is
incomplete due to the fact that CBO is only permitted to score
the unclassified portions of the bill. Because the estimate is
incomplete, the Chair of the Committee on the Budget is unable
to accurately advise the Chair on budget related points of
order.
