SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION
The resolution provides for consideration of H.R. 1216, to
amend the Public Health Service Act to convert funding for
graduate medical education in qualified teaching health centers
from direct appropriations to an authorization of
appropriations, under a modified open rule. The resolution
provides one hour of general debate equally divided and
controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the
Committee on Energy and Commerce. The resolution waives all
points of order against consideration of H.R. 1216. The
resolution provides that after general debate H.R. 1216 shall
be considered for amendment under the five-minute rule and
shall be considered as read. The resolution waives all points
of order against provisions in H.R. 1216. The resolution makes
in order only those amendments that are received for printing
in the Congressional Record dated May 23, 2011, and pro forma
amendments for the purpose of debate. The resolution provides
that each amendment received for printing in the Congressional
Record may be offered only by the Member who submitted it for
printing or their designee, and that each such amendment shall
be considered as read. The resolution provides one motion to
recommit H.R. 1216 with or without instructions.
Additionally, the resolution provides for consideration of

The resolution waives all points of order against consideration
of H.R. 1540. The resolution provides that after general debate
the Committee of the Whole shall rise without motion and that
no further consideration of the bill shall occur except
pursuant to a subsequent order of the House.
Lastly, the resolution waives clause 6(a) of rule XIII
(requiring a two-thirds vote to consider a rule on the same day
it is reported from the Rules Committee) against any resolution
reported from the Rules Committee providing for consideration
or disposition of a measure addressing expiring provisions of
the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005,
through the legislative day of May 27, 2011.

The resolution waives all points of order against

Clause 3(e) of rule XIII, which requires the
inclusion of a comparative print for a bill or joint resolution
proposing to repeal or amend a statute or part thereof.
Clause 4(a) of rule XIII, which prohibits
consideration of legislation in the House until the third
calendar day on which each report of a committee on that
measure or matter has been available to Members, Delegates and
the Resident Commissioner. While the Committee on Armed
Services filed its report on May 17, 2011, the Committee
requested authority to file a supplemental report, which
includes a more comprehensive cost estimate from the
Congressional Budget Office. The revised cost estimate was made
publicly available on May 20, 2011, and the Committee on Armed
Services filed its supplemental report on May 23, 2011.

1974, which prohibits the consideration of legislation
providing new budget authority, changes in revenues, changes in
public debt, new entitlement authority, or new credit authority
for a fiscal year until the budget resolution for that year has
been agreed to. While the House has adopted H. Con. Res. 34,
the Senate has failed to act on a budget resolution.
