EXPLANATION OF WAIVERS

The waiver of all points of order against consideration of
H.R. 51 includes waivers of the following:
Section 302(f)(1) of the Congressional
Budget Act, which prohibits consideration of
legislation providing new budget authority in excess of
a 302(a) or 302(b) allocation of such authority.
Clause 10 of rule XXI, which prohibits
consideration of a measure that has a net effect of
increasing the deficit or reducing the surplus over the
five- or 10-year period.
Although the resolution waives all points of order against
provisions in H.R. 51, as amended, the Committee is not aware
of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature.
